In the Shadow of Gold Mountain
In a journey that takes us from Montreal to Vancouver, director Karen Cho uncovers stories from the last living survivors of a dark chapter in Canadian history: the Chinese Head Tax and Exclusion Act. In effect from 1885-1947, this legislated racism plunged Canada's Chinese community into decades of debt and family separation. This documentary sheds light on a dark era that permanently shaped the identity of generations of Chinese in Canada.
