Untitled Chinese Exclusion Act Piece
The outbreak of coronavirus has triggered an uptick of hate crimes against Asian Americans, but U.S. history has all sorts of sordid tales of rocky race relations that were relegated to the margins of textbooks. Interviews feature Chinese American journalist Corky Lee.
Untitled Peter Woo Piece
Chinese American men made up only a tiny percentage of 40’s era America, but had the highest percentage of volunteers out of any ethnic group (over three times the rate of whites). Peter Woo, an entrepreneur turned WW2 vet turned heroin trafficker, recounts some adrenaline-pounding experiences during the war. Footage shot by Kenneth Eng in partnership with the American Legion Post 1291.
