Mother Tongue TV documentary series launches in Vancouver at Channel M

My friend Susan Poizner is a television director/producer
who has succeeded with her goal of creating a series about the roles of
women from different ethnic groups across Canada.

The Vancouver launch of Mother Tongue happens 7:30pm on Thursday, January 12th at the Vancouver
Museum.

The launch
will show two segments:  one about my
Vancouverite Mary Lee Chan who was
born in Canada, sent
back to China
as a child, then she returned in 1947 to forge a life for herself and her
family;

2nd segment features Japanese Canadian  Kimiko Murakami who was
interned for 8 years in BC. 

The showing will be followed by a Q&A
session with Susan Poizner, Mary Kitagawa,
granddaughter of Kimiko Murakami, and me.
 
Channel M  has bought the series and will begin airing the series from
Jan. 15, 2006, Sundays at 10 pm.
