STORIES OF REPEAL & REUNION, 16min., Canada
Directed by Ky Kim
Canada's 1923 Chinese Exclusion Act was a dark and unprecedented period in Canadian history. It is also a mostly forgotten period of Canadian history that lasted for almost a quarter century and had a devastating impact on one community: the Chinese. Even after the law was repealed in 1947, the trauma continued for years. Told through eye-witness testimony, this documentary explores the repercussions on families who were separated and forced to spend most of their lives an ocean apart. To this day, the pain and suffering of this period is reflected in the stories of its survivors. This is a lesser known part of Canadian history.
