    The Young and the Resistant

    From the BBQ meat fights in the 1970s to the 105 Keefer Street fight today, youth have always been resisting legislated and social discrimination in Vancouver's Chinatown. The Young and The Resistant follows the stories of past and present youth organizers; Paul Yee, Ramona Mar, Yulanda Lui, and Amanda Wan. Though Chinatown has changed, there is one thing that connects these resistant youth across time. This doc was made possible by the Quan Lee Excellence Fund for Asian Canadian and Asian Migration Studies. By Rachel Lau

This audio documentary brings listeners outside Vancouver’s Chinese consulate, where Tibetan-Canadians gather every March 10th to honour those slain on Uprising Day in 1959 and to demand an end to human rights abuses inside Tibet today. by Rehmatullah Sheikh

    We Ain’t Going Nowhere

    These days Metrotown is a hub of construction and new condos. While towers soar up to the sky, some tenants are receiving eviction notices on the grounds that landlords have acquired demolition or renovation permits. Despite the authority of these eviction notices, not all residents are accepting them without a fight. Julia Farry's "We Ain’t Going Nowhere" is a story of strength in numbers. It documents the ongoing push back from communities in Maple Ridge who are willing to take big risks to stop the demolition of their homes. by Julia Farry
