Twelve, Lester Alfonso, provided by the National Film Board of Canada
(44 min. 2009) If you could go back and speak to your 12-year-old self, what would you say? Through this documentary, Philippine-born filmmaker Lester Alfonso attempts to answer this question by interviewing twelve diverse subjects, each of whom moved to Canada at age 12, like himself.
