LOST
YEARS is an award-winning documentary touching upon 150
years of the Chinese diaspora in Canada, USA, New Zealand
and Australia, covering four generations of racism as
revealed through the journey and family story of Kenda Gee.
Kenda, a Chinese Canadian, travels with his father to China
to retrace the steps of his great-grandfather, exactly a
century ago, and grandfather, who sailed to Canada in the
summer of 1921. For thousands of Chinese immigrants that
year, it was a journey of hope that turned into a nightmare
when they were confronted with racism and the head tax,
depriving them of their rights as citizens.
The movie is
92 minutes long and in English with Chinese
subtitles.
