Return of the Free China Junk

The honoring of six young men who crossed the Pacific in 1955 becomes a mammoth challenge of engineering, logistics and politics nearly sixty years later.
If you could save just one object symbolising your family history what would it be?
For Dione Chen (daughter of 'Free China' junk-mate Reno Chen) it was the rare old sailing junk that in 1955 carried her father and five mates from martial law in Taiwan to San Francisco.

Director: Robin Greenberg (Ms.)

Born in Philadelphia, documentary filmmaker Robin Greenberg has been based in New Zealand since the late 1980s.
