Far East Deep South Screening & Panel Discussion

Far East Deep South is an award-winning documentary about a Chinese-American family’s search for their roots that leads them from California to Mississippi, where they stumble upon stunning family revelations and uncover the racially complex history of the Chinese in the segregated South during the Chinese Exclusion era. Director Larissa Lam explains that “it wasn't until after learning about Baldwin Chiu's family in Mississippi, that I learned more about the important contributions of Chinese immigrants in the American South.
