You are invited to watch the award-winning documentary Far East Deep South for free in person or online to celebrate this year’s Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month. You’ll also have the opportunity to meet the producers of the film in a live, student-led, virtual Q&A session at 7 PM EDT on Friday, April 29, 2022.
Previously aired on PBS World Channel’s “America ReFramed’, the film follows the journey of two Chinese-American brothers who seek to know more about their family history. Surprisingly, the place where they end up turns out to be a small town in the Mississippi Delta. The film also explores the discrimination Asian-Americans historically faced, the interconnected relationship between the Black and Chinese communities in the Jim Crow era, and the generational impact of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.
This event is organized and sponsored by 18 organizations in Belmont and Lexington. The funding is provided by the Chinese American Association of Lexington (CAAL), the Belmont Celebrates AAPI Heritage Fund, and a grant from the Belmont Cultural Council (BCC), a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council (MCC), a state agency.
This event is co-sponsored by the following Lexington based organizations: Cary Memorial Library, Cary library Foundation, Lexington Youth AAPI Volunteers, Association of Black Citizens of Lexington (ABCL), Lexington Historic Society, Asian Student Union of Lexington High School.
