This raw gutsy portrait of New Yorks Chinatown captures the early days of an emerging consciousness in the community We see a Chinatown rarely depicted a vibrant community whose young and old join forces to protest police brutality and hostile real estate developers With bold strokes it paints an overview of the community and its history from the early laborers driving spikes into the transcontinental railroad to the garment workers of today
