Description
DVD-R. Canadian filmmaker Jeanette Kong weaves together the strands of her Chinese-Jamaican identity as she recounts her father's immigration journey, from China to Jamaica, and then eventually to Toronto, Canada. Drawing on her dad's eloquent journal writing, and connecting with family around the globe, the filmmaker paints a deeply honest portrait of the Hakka migration experience. Why brave the hardships of immigration, not once, but twice in a single lifetime? Part personal memoir and part archival history, this is a story of courage, resilience, and sacrifice: a daughter's loving tribute to her immigrant father and to her Hakka heritage.
