We must remember our roots so that we may plant the seeds of a brighter future.
With the rising success of our documentary, we are proud to announce that we have completed our second documentary, which explores the forgotten history of the first Chinese immigrants of Montreal, re-telling never-before-heard stories passed down to film producer Jimmy Chan from his elders, the elders of the Chinese community, and similar stories from other families.
Our second documentary highlights the sacrifices and hardships that the first Chinese immigrants went through to establish a home in Canada as well as highlighting the contributions they made to help build the country. It connects these past events with the recent situation regarding the gentrification of Montreal’s Chinatown, the rise in Anti-Asian hate and discrimination, following-up on the issues explored in our first documentary.
As our first documentary was self-financed, pulling $100k of funds from our own pockets, we have self-financed our second documentary as well. Our second documentary entitled SAVING CHINATOWN – OUR HERITAGE. OUR LEGEND. premiered on July 31st, 2022 at the CCIFF Canada China International Film Festival in Montreal. Despite our limited budget, our team managed to produce an excellent film. Our documentary was very well-received by the audience! Another great success!
Check out the official trailer of our documentary SAVING CHINATOWN – OUR HERITAGE. OUR LEGEND:
After the screening, we announced to the audience that we are continuing the SAVING CHINATOWN documentary series, and have already begun planning out the third installment of SAVING CHINATOWN. The audience had nothing but great comments to say about our documentary and encouraged us to produce the next installment of SAVING CHINATOWN. With the success of our first two SAVING CHINATOWN documentaries, we are hoping to acquire funding from third parties to help finance our next project with a larger budget, so we can make it an even greater success than our previous ones!
