This moving double tells the story of a mother and her six children who fled Vietnam in 1979, or rather the story that the mother shares with her daughter 40 years later. That implies survivors of pirate attacks, typhoons, famine and shipwrecks … all based on a true story). And you can watch it from the safety of your sofa.

5. Watch the Vancouver Asian Film Festival
November 4 to 13
The Vancouver Asian Film Festival will run both online and in person over the next two weeks – check the schedule here. One program that thrills us is the Elimin8Hate movie collection, this Sunday. It includes three films (including What flowers they bloom, a local film by director C. Hudson Hwang, pictured above) and a panel all tackling anti-Asian racism. The moderation of the panel is another local cartoonist Zoe Si (we’re big fans, check out her doodles here).
When: From Thursday November 4 to Saturday November 13
Or: Online and in person at Cineplex International Village
Cost: Varied
