Film Screening:
Beyond Frontiers

Beyond Frontiers, based on the 15-part documentary series Chinese Restaurants, tells the story of the Chinese Diaspora through its most recognizable and enduring icon - the family-run Chinese restaurant. Filmmaker Cheuk Kwan travel to India and Brazil delving into Chinese communities who transcend geographical, political and social frontiers.

Together, these community and personal histories illustrate the wider story of Chinese migration and settlement. These stories celebrate the resilience and complexity of the Chinese diaspora and expand the definition of what it means to be "Chinese" today. They highlight the fluidity and highly personal nature of identity, and the struggle of ethnic minorities to break through social boundaries.
