From C to C: Chinese Canadian Stories of Migration is a 2011 documentary film produced and directed by Jordan Paterson. The film premiered on July 16, 2011 on CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation)television.

Synopsis

Filmed in Canada and China's Guangdong province, "From C to C" 《金山梦——中国与加拿大的故事》contrasts the historical injustices faced by Chinese migrants and their families over the last century with the experiences of contemporary Chinese Canadian youth who embody diverse, transnational identities across Canada today.[1] With interviews in four languages—Cantonese, Mandarin, Taishanese and English—the film conveys the impact of the historical Head Tax and Exclusion Act (1923 - 1947) imposed on Chinese immigrants to Canada. The film features interviews with Chinese Canadian veterans George Chow and Frank Wong and 104-year-old head tax redress activist Charlie Quan.
