Description 1 online resource (1 video file (46 min.)) : sound, color with black and white sequences Summary This raw, gutsy portrait of New York's Chinatown captures the early days of an emerging consciousness in the community. We see a Chinatown rarely depicted, a vibrant community whose young and old join forces to protest police brutality and hostile real estate developers. With bold strokes, it paints an overview of the community and its history, from the early laborers driving spikes into the transcontinental railroad to the garment workers of today Notes Originally produced in 1976 Credits Directed by Christine Choy ; cinematography by Larry Bullard ; editing, Allan Siegel Notes In English and Chinese with English and Chinese subtitles Description based on online resource and videodisc version record; title from website (viewed September 17, 2018) Subject Chinese Americans -- New York (State) -- New York -- Social conditions Chinese Americans -- New York (State) -- New York -- Economic conditions Chinese Americans -- Political activity -- New York (State) -- New York Chinese Americans -- Economic conditions.
