In Search of Mah Hang

Born an Immigrant – The Dressmaker
An uplifting documentary about a Canadian-born Chinese woman who supports her family by becoming a dressmaker in Victoria, BC during the Chinese Exclusion Act. Through fashion, one woman’s journey for equality and the sense of purpose she found behind a Singer sewing machine.
