From Vancouver's Chinatown to the treacherous jungles of Southeast Asia, this fascinating program explores the war experiences of B.C.s Chinese Canadian community. Despite being born and raised in Canada, Alex Louie and his friends were denied the right to vote, confined to life in the Chinatown ghetto, and segregated in public places. They were also prohibited from serving in World War II, until the Allies needed Chinese-speaking undercover agents behind enemy lines in Asia. This astonishing documentary is the courageous story of Canada's unwanted soldiers, willing to die for a country that did not want them.
