Q&A with University of Oregon Ethnic Studies Faculty Lynn Fujiwara
The Chinese Exclusion Act
Documentary | 160 minutes | USA | Directed by Ric Burns and Li-Shin Yu
Filmmakers Ric Burns and Li-Shin Yu tackle a complicated and forgotten story of a significant piece of U.S. history — the only legislation barring an entire group of immigrants based on ethnicity and race. Through powerful and illuminating testimonies from subjects, scholars and experts, a wider, deeply American story comes to life, one that embodies the issues of globalization, immigration, labor and civil rights that continue to dominate headlines today.
