[van-announce] In the Shadow of Gold Mountian coming Tuesday and Sunday...

[Sid Chow Tan]

Yo Folks.

Karen Cho's IN THE SHADOW OF GOLD MOUNTAIN on Rough Cuts on CBC Newsworld on 
Tuesday Jan. 3rd at 10pmET, 1amET and 4amET. I'm guessing that's 7pmPT, 10pmPT 
and 1amPT). 

The film is an excellent look at the hardships faced by Canada's Chinese 
forbears, the impact of head-tax and exclusion and how the mighty Lo Wah Kiu 
(old overseas Chinese) overcame it all.  
 
It will also air on Sat. Jan. 7th at 3pmET, 10pmET and 1amET (adjust minus 
three hours for Pacific time zone).

Well worth the watch. Features from Saltwater City, Charlie Quan, Roy Mah, Gim 
Wong and Hanson Lau and some music by Sean Gunn, our head-tax redress minstrel 
and poet.

Take care.    anon    Sid
