DESCRIPTION

Charles Chiu and his family’s search for their roots takes them on an eye-opening journey through the Mississippi Delta, uncovering their lost family history and the racially complex experience of Chinese immigrants in the segregated South. With the help of local residents and historians, this Chinese American family comprehends the impact of race-based immigration policies on their family and the symbiotic relationship between Black and Chinese communities during the Jim Crow era.

Directed by Larissa Lam and produced by Baldwin Chiu, Far East Deep South will air on the WORLD Channel documentary series America ReFramed (check local listings). The film will stream on WORLDchannel.org, PBS.org and the PBS Video app Aug 10th-Sept 9th.
