This spring and summer, Janice Wong (my 2nd cousin-once removed) did some filming with producer Costa Maragos for a documentary about her, and her book CHOW.
Janice will also be featured in the Generations documentary about the Rev. Chan family descendants. Costa also produced the Generations Saskatchewan documentary.
Janice wrote me:
Lotusland Saskatchewan (Chow) documentary has been rescheduled to run tomorrow night (Friday, December 22) during the CBC National, 10-11 pm...but, as it goes with short documentaries during the news broadcast, there is still the chance that it could be preempted again.

Generations Rev. Chan Yu Tan: Editing being done for the CBC documentary on Rev. Chan and descendants

Halya is convinced this "our project" is going to rock! She is amazed at the almost 120 year long family history that started when Mr. Chan Sing Kai first came to Canada at the invitation of the Methodist Church of Canada in November 1888. There are now 7 generations of Chan descendants throughout North America, descended from eldest brother Rev. Chan Sing Kai, who later moved to California, Rev. Chan Yu Tan (my great-great-grandfather who retired in New Westminster), and Aunt Naomi who had moved to Chicago. Aunt Phoebe is the 4th sibling who stayed with the Chinese United Church in Vancouver, and became affectionately known as "The Bible Lady" - she never married. more »

Lotusland Saskatchewan: a documentary on Janice Wong,
her book Chow, and the Wong family restaurant  My cousin Janice Wong is a visual artist who accidently wrote an incredibly wonderful family memori/cookbook titled Chow: From China to Canada: Memories of Food + Family. Last year, Janice did a lot of local and national print, radio and television interviews across Canada... well mostly in Vancouver, Victoria, Toronto, Saskatchewan... and even in Winnipeg. Last week, the CBC television documentary about her, her family, and her book aired in Saskatchewan. Hopefully the national air date will be soon. Check out these links about Janice: Costa Maragos' CBC documentary on Chow and the Wong family in Saskatchewan airs on CBC Saskatchewan, November 29, 2006. The full length version of the documentary will air Canada-wide on CBC's The National—air date TBA.
