Far East Deep South Film Screening & Discussion
Discover the Past You Never Knew
Join the University of Kentucky Office of China Initiatives for a film screening and discussion of Far East Deep South, an award-winning documentary feature film that follows the Chiu family on a surprising journey through Mississippi in search of their lost family history.
Their journey sheds light on the racially complex history of the early Chinese and the important symbiotic relationship that developed between the African American and Chinese American communities in the segregated South.
Together, the family discovers how exclusionary immigration laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 impacted their family, and they learn just how deep their roots run in America.
This event is in-person and virtual; please indicate how you are attending when registering so that we can send the link to the film and the post-discussion stream if you are attending online. More information can be found here.
