Keywords: Immigrants ; Young adults Interviews. ; Young adults Attitudes. ; Hong Kong (China) History Transfer of Sovereignty from Great Britain, 1997. ; Canada ; Documentary films.

Abstract: This multi-layered portrait examines San Francisco filmmaker Ruby Yang's childhood home in its first year of postcolonial existence. In 1997, as the long-anticipated handover of the city from British rule to Chinese authority was about to occur, Yang returned to see the transition for herself. Instead of mirroring mainstream news reporting, Yang intimately explores the everyday lives of the people of Hong Kong, showing how the city's ever changing dynamics and energy shaped them. CITIZEN HONG KONG does this by intimately following five individuals who represent a diverse cross section of Hong Kong youth.

Abstract: This short film takes place in San Francisco, 1951, focusing on the experience of a young Filipino American trying to adjust to his predominantly Caucasian workplace. It explores the subtleties of how racism affects members of a multi-ethnic family, most tellingly when a mixed-blood sibling denies his ethnic heritage and 'passes' as an Italian American in order to fit in.

Abstract: In the days following the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, there was a media frenzy pointing fingers at the North American Muslim community.
