- Ruby and her daughter Amber find themselves with problems leaving them to find a Plan B when things go wrong.
- Writer/director Karin Lee reflects on her father Wally Lee and the communist bookstore that he ran on Vancouver's Skid Row from the mid-1960s until the early 1980s. This experimental biography explores both the person and the effect that his ideological beliefs had on his family, set within the political landscapes of Canada and China at the time of the Cultural Revolution. It is also a little-known story about how a segment of Vancouver's Chinese community embraced Chinese socialism and how their idealism was affected by a changing political climate in China. Comrade Dad twists memories of a socialist-raised child into the reflection of an adult who is conflicted over the schism between idealism and pragmatism, socialism and capitalism, and personal desires and political activism.
- Passage of Dreams tells the story of a community, of personal journey of discovery through the stories of Dr. Wallace Chung and his childhood love of collecting Canadian Pacific artifacts. It weaves the interlocking stories of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company and the development of the Chinese community in Canada. It reveals how events from the past shape our distinctive Canadian identity today.
- Velma Demerson was arrested in 1939 for living with her Chinese boyfriend Harry Yip. Sentenced to 1 year in a Toronto prison, 60 years later she sued the Canadian government for wrongful incarceration, and received an apology in 2002.
