Chinatown Canada | OMNI TV
By Justin Ko
Nearly every major city across the globe has a historic Chinatown district, and the metropolises of Canada are no exception. Yet the historical and contemporary importance of these areas to the local Chinese population, along with the population at large, is an intriguing yet little known or publicized issues for modern audiences.
OMNI Television invites all to join in the debut broadcast premiere of the insightful Canadian documentary series Chinatown Canada this August, with episodes being shown in both Mandarin Chinese and English. The documentary series will be broadcast to television viewers in Ontario as well as British Columbia. Each of the four episodes of the series is 30 minutes long, and centers on a particular Chinatown in the cities of Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, and Montreal.
According to the official OMNI website, "Chinatown Canada reveals how each of these communities help to uniquely shape the fabric and culture of the cities in which they thrive. Each episode explores both the present and the past, and includes stunning visuals and informative interviews with key members of the Chinatown communities."
Madeline Ziniak, National Vice President of OMNI Television, is excited about the series and the impact it will have. "Chinatown Canada invites audiences into an insider's look at these flourishing communities, which successfully preserve Chinese traditions as they actively contribute to the city as a whole," Ziniak comments. It is the hope of the filmmakers that such an insider's look will help enlighten these communities and help audiences learn more about their own respective Chinatown.
Two episodes will be shown every Saturday in August beginning at 8 pm, Pacific Time. Mandarin Chinese episodes will premiere on August 7th and August 14th, while English episodes will air on August 21st and August 28th.
