The Offering is a Canadian romantic drama film, directed by David Secter and released in 1966. One of the first Canadian films ever to depict an interracial relationship, the film portrays a romance between Mei-Lin, a dancer with a touring Peking opera company, and Gordon, a stagehand at the theatre in Toronto where the troupe is performing. Philip Givens, the real-life mayor of Toronto at the time the film was made, appears in the film as himself; the cast also includes Ellen Yamasaki and Marvin Goldhar.
