We get a lot of questions about when the documentary, The Invisible Red Thread, will finally be broadcast on TV. The one hour film follows fifteen year old Vivian Lum`s travels back to China to contrast her North American adopted life with that of a teen girl adopted within China. While we don’t yet have an exact broadcast date…we do have narrowed it down the month: Canadians will be able to see the film on Omni TV in March 2012.
For now, the film continues on the festival circuit and will be available for Canadian and international sales on DVD after its March broadcast.
But meanwhile: you can hear an exclusive interview on Radio Canada International with director Maureen Marovitch. Listen in for details about the challenges of making the film, and the impact the filming had on its participants.
The Invisible Red Thread is made possible with 100% funding from the OMNI Television Independent Producers Initiative. The $32.5 million fund is a seven-year commitment created and made available for the independent production of third-language ethnocultural programming. The fund is not only dedicated to helping Canadian independent producers tell their stories in their language of comfort, but also to make sure that these stories are accessible to other ethnocultural communities through re-versioning in different languages. This is the industry’s first, and only, major source of funding for the independent production of non-official language programming. More details on the fund are at OMNI Television’s website
