Exclusion: Beyond the Silence is a documentary that reveals the human impact of a discriminatory immigration policy that caused lasting intergenerational trauma to Chinese Canadians, their culture and family life.

It is the story of two granddaughters, Keira Loughran and Helen Lee, who set out to examine the legacy of their grandmothers, Jean Lumb and Foon Hay Lum, women who fought for reunification of Chinese Canadian families and helped pave the way for Canada’s policy of multiculturalism.

It’s an extraordinary untold story which serves as a timely reminder of the struggle, sacrifice and the contribution made by countless Chinese Canadians to the fabric of this country.

《排华法案》之百年沉默 这部长篇纪录片，揭示了加拿大“排华法案”这种歧视性移民政策对华人的深远影响。该政策造成加拿大的华裔家庭几代人的生活的创伤。影片讲述了林宝珠(Keira Loughran)和 李海伦(Helen Lee)的寻根之旅。她们的祖母林黄彩珍(Jean Lumb)和林煥喜(Foon Hay Lum)用他们那一代人华裔女性的不屈不挠精神，为加拿大华裔家庭再团聚奋力抗争，并成功的废除了《排华法案》。为加拿大华裔社区的繁荣稳定奠定了永久根基。并为加拿大的平权多元文化政策树立了历史丰碑。
