This documentary tells the personal story of filmmaker Jari Osborne's father
, a Chinese-Canadian veteran. She describes her father's involvement in
World War II and uncovers a legacy of discrimination and racism against
British Columbia's Chinese-Canadian community. Sworn to secrecy for decades,
Osborne's father and his war buddies now vividly recall their top-secret
missions behind enemy lines in Southeast Asia. Theirs is a tale of young men
proudly fighting for a country that had mistreated them. This film does
more than reveal an important period in Canadian history. It pays moving
tribute to a father's quiet heroism.
