C.D. Hoy: Portraits from the Frontier

Enter the world of Chow Dong Hoy, a photographer with a rare vision of life in a frontier culture. C.D. Hoy moved from China to British Columbia at the turn of the century. This documentary chronicles his extraordinary life from Vancouver in 1902 to the gold mines, forts and settlements of early British Columbia. We follow the footsteps of this impoverished Pioneer as he seeks to establish a life for himself in the wilderness of the Cariboo... Canada's Wild West.
