Description
LOST YEARS is an award-winning documentary tracing four generations of racism as revealed through the journey and family story of Kenda Gee, a Chinese Canadian. Co-Produced/Directed by Kenda Gee & Tom Radford, the documentary begins in China in 1910 and concludes with the movement to
embrace redress as a concept of social justice in Canada, the United States, New Zealand and Australia, exactly a century later.
Doors open at 6.00 pm with opening remarks and screening to be followed by a Q&A. Our esteemed MC for the evening is Jeannie Lee who covers breaking business news for CBC News Network. Her reports are also heard regularly on CBC Radio.
The documentary’s run time is 90 minutes and we encourage you to bring friends and family to the screening. Remember to print your ticket and present it for admission.
