Description


Meet Amy, a 7-year-old Chinese Canadian girl with a unique story. Born and raised in Canada, Amy doesn't see herself as Chinese. But her parents think differently. They believe it's important for her to learn Chinese because of her heritage. This leaves Amy wondering, what does it really mean to be Chinese, or Canadian, or both?
