Description: Video takes you inside Chinatown's tumultuous and inspiring history to witness how the past and present live together in one of San Francisco's oldest communities. Through a vivid mixture of personal recollections, archival photos, poetry and narration, Chinatown recalls the days when the neighborhood was shut out from society, a distinct ghetto and a refuge for new immigrants. Poignant documentary footage reveals the stories of how residents made a life and thrived despite discriminatory legislation--starting with local ordinances and culminating with the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882.
Notes: VHS.

In Cantonese with Chinese subtitles.
