Join us this Remembrance Day in commemorating the life of Fred Lee, one of the few Chinese Canadians veterans to have served in World War I.
Among the very first Chinese to enlist in the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) of the First World War, Frederick Lee was one of very few Canadians of Chinese descent who served. Lee subsequently fought at Vimy Ridge and later vanished, likely annihilated by artillery after seeing victory in the Battle of Hill 70.
Follow along as director Jack Gin recounts the journey to reconstruct Fred Lee’s life, travelling across Canada to France to present a moving tribute to a once forgotten soldier in this documentary. Film screenings will be followed by a live Q&A with the filmmakers.
