a Time in Toronto.

With production set to begin next month, the 20×1-hour

Chinese immigrant families living in Toronto. Once Upon a Time in Toronto was exclusively funded through OMNI's Independent
Producers Initiative, a C$32.5 million independent production fund that to date
has supported over 200 new documentary programs.
