content: Film outtakes from the American University Field Staff "Faces of Change" film series documenting fishing and farming familes who live mostly in the Soko Islands, a group of islands in Hong Kong. Film footage documents family life on junks (boats), fishing practices, farming practices, and gender roles. Emphasis is placed on the challenges of modernization by government programs, education, and economic development. The films "China Coast Fishing", "Hoy Fok and the Island School", "The Island Fish Pond", "Island in the China Sea" and "Three Island Women" were produced from this film project. Filmed by George Chang, Richard Chen, and Norman Miller.
