Eve and the Fire Horse: child's view of the world pokes questions at multicultural dichotomies

Many people have said they relate to the film's stories and characters, regardless of ethnicity. The two sisters speak English to each other and the younger 9 year old Eve also narrates. Phoebe Kut stars as the central figure Eve, and Hollie Lo plays her older sister Karina. Their parents speak Cantonese Chinese to them, the kids answer in English.

This could be any first and second generation immigrant group as they adapt to wherever they are now settled. more »

"Todd I've been seeing your face pop up on tv all over the place.".... The Georgia Straight includes the Chinese Head Tax redress amongst important elections issues such as the future of health care, child care, the cost of postsecondary education, crime, police surveillance powers, , immigration, Canadian military priorities, and the desire for less corruption in Ottawa. They also state that "it’s unthinkable to elect federal politicians who opposed ratifying the Kyoto Protocol and who are so threatened by gay and lesbian marriages that they feel they must be banned." more »
