Executive produced by James Cameron, this is the extraordinary story of the six forgotten Chinese survivors of the Titanic. On arrival in New York, these survivors were accused of dishonourable behaviour by the press and escorted out of the country within 24 hours. They were never interviewed; they just disappeared. 

In this award-winning film, an international team of researchers sets out to uncover their story for the first time, tracking down descendants, debunking myths and racist assumptions, and learning what really happened to these remarkable men. This epic journey takes us across continents from China to the USA, Canada and the UK. Along the way, we discover the survivors’ involvement in the first world war, the immigration policies that singled them out for discrimination and the secret repatriations that shaped their lives. 

Featuring exclusive James Cameron interviews, stunning animations, and Titanic movie footage, including a previously unreleased deleted scene, this story of discrimination and survival against the odds is more relevant than ever, today.
