Super 8mm/16mm/DV, 2005

Comrade Dad is a half hour documentary about the filmmaker's father, Wally Lee, and the communist bookstore he ran on Vancouver's skid row from the mid-1960s until the early 1980s. This experimental biography explores both the person and how his ideological beliefs affected his family within the political landscapes of Canada and China during the Cultural Revolution.
