“Chinese Couplets” Documentary Screening | SF Main Library

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Part memoir, part history, part investigation, journalist filmmaker Felicia Lowe’s search for answers about her mother’s emigration to America during the Chinese Exclusion era reveals the often painful price paid by immigrants who abandoned their personal identity, the burden of silence they passed on to their offspring and the intergenerational strife between immigrants and their American born children.
The documentary is one hour long.
