Village Vancouver

Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities

Pia Massie's media project / Kickstarter website

Hi folks, 

Thanks for coming to the movie tonight for you VVers who did.  Here is the link to my project: Just Beyond Hope.

I need your help getting the word out so PLEASE check it out, back it if you can and SHARE it with your friends.

It does have quite a key section about the environment as my grandpa who lived here in Vancouver was a lumber exporter.  Which is why I was involved in Clayquot Sound ...

THANKS + love, Pia

Using personal archival photos, letters and newspapers, Just Beyond Hope creates a dialogue between white and Japanese, Canadian and American, first, second and third generation women. Each person offers their unique perspective. As these women tell their stories from different points of view, a fractured jigsaw puzzle of the time period builds memory fragment by memory fragment.

The historical issues triggered by war - of racism, nationalism, incarceration, enforced servitude, repatriation, reparations and land claims/occupation - are brought forward through the details of the women's daily lives.
