            In this personal documentary that gives an inside view of the contemporary immigrant experience that only a first-generation immigrant can portray, New York-based filmmaker ALVIN TSANG digs through a box of old videotapes and his family photo album, and recounts his life. He chooses to start his story in 2000 when, as a young adult, Alvin moves into a tiny Los Angeles apartment with his FATHER. Alvin struggles to understand and rebuild his relationship with both of his parents whose divorce is fraught with the emotional trauma, blame, and hardships surrounding his familys immigration to the U.S. from Hong Kong some fifteen years ago.When he was six-years old, the filmmakers MOTHER and two SIBLINGS went ahead and settled in Los Angeles leaving the filmmaker and his father in Hong Kong for three years. Alvins father worked long hours and neglected parenting his young son in order to make enough money to join his wife and family in the United States. Meanwhile, young Alvin yearned for a happy reunion that never happened. His mother had secretly fallen in love with a fellow immigrant in the U.S. and abandoned her husband and young son.Later as an adult filmmaker, Alvin grapples with immigration memories (arriving in L.A. and discovering his parents divorce, becoming a child laborer while growing up, leaving home to attend college, etc.) and tries to mend his family and understand what broke them apart in the first place. Alvin travels back to Hong Kong with his family, accepting the fragmented configurations, and reflects on his reconnection to extended family, the sense of belonging and nostalgia, and the changes in his native country.By combining childhood photos and cinema-verité and interview footage of Alvins family, archival news footage of the 1997 Hong Kong Handover, photos of early 1900s U.S. child labor reform movement, and stream of consciousness narrative, REUNIFICATION explores the process of self-preservation and acceptance, while providing a uniquely intimate insight on the immigrant experience and family.
