Relics of Love and War, 45min., Canada

This documentary takes an existential approach to time and memory within the context of Chinese Canadian history during World War Two. Using still photos and contemporary footage, filmmaker Keith Lock narrates how his mother married his father in Australia and shares inside stories of his father and twelve other Chinese Canadian veterans who volunteered for the top secret suicide mission, OPERATION OBLIVION, at a time when Chinese Canadians did not have the right to vote, could not swim in pools, or hire white women in their businesses.
