Written, directed and narrated by Karen Cho, this 43-minute National Film
Board production sheds light on an era that shaped the identity of
generations of Chinese in Canada. Ms. Cho, a fifth-generation Canadian of
mixed heritage, uncovers stories from the last survivors of the Chinese
Head Tax and Exclusion Acts from 1885-1947. Moving testimonials reveal the
profound ways this history still casts its shadow.

This Vancouver film premiere is presented by the Vancouver Association of
Chinese Canadians with the assistance of the Chinese Canadian National
Council and National Anti-Racism Council of Canada.
