Where Are You Really From? Season 1 Episode 1 (30 mins)
Australia's Bendigo
The Chinese migrated to regional Victoria in the late 1800s. In search of gold, instead they often found persecution and violence. Today, Bendigo is a city of contrasts and one that is trying to reconcile its past. The few descendants of those early Chinese settlers that remain in the town are each trying to rediscover a side of their history that was too often seen as shameful. For Michael Hing, the experience is a personal one. His ancestors settled in regional New South Wales, but they just as easily could have called Bendigo home.
