Film Overview: 
Emerald Garden explores issues surrounding racial identity through the lens of award-winning Canadian-Chinese Filmmaker James Michael Chiang (JMC). For Chiang, who is half-Chinese and half-Caucasian, identity has always been a deeply personal matter, often wrapped in struggles to fit in and feel a sense of belonging.
