Synopsis-

Block 14 in Lone Fir Cemetery, the first Chinese burial ground in Portland—and site of as many as 1,500 burials—now stands as a fenced off void of gravel after most of the remains were exhumed and shipped back to China in 1928 & 1949.

Sixty years later, Director Ivy Lin follows the footsteps of the missing 1949 shipment in an extraordinary journey from Portland to Hong Kong.

CTH DVD available on ivylinfilm.com.
$19.95 for personal viewings only.

    Is there a website with more information on this documentary? Wondering when and where future screenings will be. Will be in Seattle during the premiere. It'd be great if you could show it at MoCA! mocanyc.org/

    Darren-
    Thank you for your comment.
    The premiere in Portland last night was well-attended (standing room only) and I've been receiving many positive feedback and comments.

    Funny you mentioned MoCA NYC, I just had a screening of "Pig Roast & Tank of Fish" (trailer poster here too) there on 9/10.

    I have expressed my interest in showing "Come Together Home" there, but they have not responded to me yet. Do you mind sending them an e-mail to express your wish to see this at MoCA NYC?

    Many Thanks!!
