SUMMARY:Far East Deep South - Film Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:About the event:\nMany people know of the discrimination that minority groups in America have suffered but few have seen how this discrimination has impacted the relationship between the Afro-Chinese community. The documentary Far East Deep South explores the unknown history of Chinese immigrants that landed in America’s deep south and how they and their black neighbors were able to look beyond cultural differences to create a community. At this event\, we will talk with the filmmakers as well as members of the Black China Caucus to discuss some of the lessons we can learn from the film and how we can use these lessons today. \nHow to watch the film:\nAfter you register you will be sent a link to watch the film via your registered email.\nYou will have a 72-hour window to view the film starting on August 23\, 12:00 am PDT to August 25th\, 11:59 pm PDT. \nClick here or above to register for the event.\nTo learn more about the event organizers you can find out more here:\nUS Heartland China Association\nBlack China Caucus\nSupChina\nChina-United States Exchange Foundation \nAbout the Film\n \nVisit Far East Deep South official website

SUMMARY:Far East Deep South Broadcast
DESCRIPTION:Far East Deep South broadcasts on the WORLD Channel documentary series America ReFramed on Tuesday\, September 14th\, 2021\, 8:00 p.m. EDT (check local listings). It will also be available to stream on WORLDchannel.org\, PBS.org and the PBS Video app beginning at time of broadcast on September 14 through October 14. \nIn a nation that is in need of stories of hope\, Far East Deep South is a deeply moving documentary that offers a poignant perspective on race relations\, immigration and the deep roots of Chinese Americans in our national identity. The award-winning documentary follows Charles Chiu and his family (including his son\, producer Baldwin Chiu\, and daughter-in-law\, director Larissa Lam) as they travel from California to Mississippi to find answers about Charles’ father\, K.C. Lou. A retired Air Force reservist\, Charles was left behind in China as a baby and is reluctant to discuss his family’s complicated past with his sons\, Baldwin and Edwin. The family’s emotional journey to a place they’ve never seen leads to stunning revelations and a crash course on the surprising history of Chinese immigrants in the segregated South. Through encounters with local residents who remember K.C.\, as well as interviews with historians\, the family’s trip becomes a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for discovery and healing. \nView full press release here. \nWatch USHCA’s panel discussion with the filmmakers\, as well as members of the Black China caucus as the discuss some of the lessons we can learn from the film and how we can use these lessons today.

SUMMARY:Chinese Americans in the Heartland
DESCRIPTION:Chinese-Americans play an important role in the U.S.-China relationship. Understanding who we are as a country is a crucial first step to the U.S. building a better Way Forward with China. Literally and metaphorically\, the infrastructure of our Heartland region is built on the backs of Chinese-Americans – a sociological history that has been largely ignored. \nBut how have we gotten here as a country? Who are the Chinese-Americans in the Heartland region and how did they get where they are today? How does a better understanding of our nation and our history impact our relationships abroad? All of these questions and more will be discussed with Dr. Huping Ling and the Chinese-American Museum of Chicago in a special USHCA Author Series event this February.
