From Harling Point Synopsis

This documentary tells the story of a Chinese cemetery in BC that became a National Heritage site. For Chinese pioneers who died in Canada, Victoria's Chinese Cemetery at Harling Point was a temporary resting place until their bones could be returned home. (Traditional Chinese belief says that the soul of a person who dies in a foreign place wanders lost until their bones are returned home.) This film traces the rich history of the Vancouver Island cemetery from controversy and neglect to its revival as a historic site. Told by those closest to it, the story of Harling Point is a metaphor for Canada, a country still working on making a home for all who live within its borders.

From Harling Point (2003) is a documentary film directed by Ling Chiu, released on January 1, 2003. It stars Laara Ong, Jim Wong-Chu, Charlayne Thornton-Joe and Edna Chow.
