From a “Farm strong” cultivating a deep well of self-initiating music and story ideas, we sit down with a true force of nature. Barbara Lee took the “nobody looks like me” narrative, and used it as fuel to start the longest-running Asian film festival in Canada. Join us as we talk farm life to film life, creating long-term change with authentic action, and attracting a team of investors, volunteers and creatives by being your true self. Barbara is a beacon of inspiration, showing us how to walk in with a curiosity lens, relinquish those regrets, and take each opportunity as a two-way investment. So sit back, get your popcorn out, and enjoy the show!
