Our Chinatown

Chinatowns have been home to vibrant communities of Asian immigrants since the mid-19th Century. They provided the inhabitants with an entry point to support and services and a place to establish their new identity. However, many of these historic neighborhoods are now threatened by gentrification, aging populations, and assimilation. Through the eyes of five community members working to educate, organize, house, and document the community, this one-hour documentary will visit several Chinatowns in America and ask if these ethnic enclaves still have a place.
