Director Karen Cho travels from Montreal to Vancouver to uncover stories from the last living survivors of the Chinese Head Tax and Exclusion Act. This dark chapter in our history, for 1885 to 1947, plunged the Chinese community in Canada into decades of debt and family separation. Through a rich melding of history, poetry, and raw emotion, this documentary sheds light on an era that shaped the identity of generations. With deeply moving testimonials, it reveals the profound ways this history still casts its shadow. 43 min. Rated PG, mature theme% |" o8 @( j* r5 q$ f, U5 W& K
