The Last Stitch (2019) Feature Documentary 69 min Cantonese, English Hong Kong
Directed by Alfred Sung

Shanghai was once the capital of the cheongsam and base to many a master tailor. But during the unstable years of the Communist Revolution, many of these skilled craftsmen fled to Hong Kong. One of those forced to relocate was Master Sung and his family, including his son Tommy. Growing up in the trade, Tommy was apprenticed to his father as soon as he was old enough, learning the skills of the two generations of tailors whod come before him. When his father passed away, Tommy worked hard with his wife Connie to keep the family business going, despite the growth of the mass-produced garment industry. Eventually, the family and the business moved to Canada.
