Relics of Love and War


Poster image Relics of Love and War

Chinese Canadian filmmaker, Keith Lock, narrates the story of how his mother married his father while he was training with other Chinese Canadian veteran volunteers for the top secret suicide mission: Operation Oblivion. This incredible story is set against the backdrop of the Second World War, a time when Chinese Canadians could not vote, swim in pools, or hire white women for their businesses. Lock celebrates his father, mother, and community of Chinese Canadian veterans as daring and vivacious badasses whose futures were yet to be written, in a tribute and record of this larger moment in Chinese Canadian history.
