Far East Deep South

This is a documentary film of a five-generation Chinese diaspora family living in the U.S. A very informative and moving film to watch.

“We thought we were taking a family vacation to simply find my grandfather and great grandfather’s gravesite. Before we knew it, we began to uncover not only the history of our family, but also that of the early Chinese American settlers: an entire community caught between the black and white population. In addition to them dealing with the obvious racism, segregation, loneliness, depression, and financial burdens, they had to do it during a time when Congress enacted the only act in American history that explicitly targeted a specific race; The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.” —Baldwin Chiu, Producer
