The Chinese Exclusion Act
Directed by Ric Burns and Li-Shin Yu
With Hoon Lee, Joel de la Fuente, Yuet-Fung Ho, Fenton Li and Russell Wong
A sweeping chronicle of the entire exclusion era - the latter part of the 1800s, when anti-Chinese agitation led to federal laws targeting Chinese abroad and those already in the country. Go far beyond the legislation with the survival and growth of Chinese American communities in the face of prejudice and outright violence, the “paper” sons and daughters who emigrated despite the seemingly impassable barriers, and the legal challenges that produced some of the most momentous decisions in Supreme Court history.
