Two journeys...
One historical, in search of a new life.
One modern, in search of justice.
This epic documentary mini-series touches on the largest exodus in humankind, covering over 150 years of history of the Chinese in Canada and abroad.
It is an epoch that delivers an important message, namely, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." (Spanish philosopher, George Santayana (1863-1952), in Reason in Common Sense, The Life of Reason.)
This event is free.
Registration capacity is 350 people.
