See It Again: Come Together Home

Wednesday, October 28, 2009

Just wanted to post up another one for filmmaker Ivy Lin that if you missed out her latest film the first time around - don't worry about it - because you can see it again if your down Portland way.

December 4th, Friday, 7pm
5th Avenue Cinema
510 SW Hall St., Portland, OR 97209
*Q&A with the director following the screening


Synopsis

Block 14 in Lone Fir Cemetery, the first Chinese burial ground in Portland—and site of as many as 1,500 burials—now stands as a fenced off void of gravel after most of the remains were exhumed and shipped back to China in 1928 & 1949.

Sixty years later, Director Ivy Lin follows the footsteps of the missing 1949 shipment in an extraordinary journey from Portland to Hong Kong.
