Becoming American: The Chinese
Experience |
| Description: |
The new immigration laws of
1965 were a turning point for the Chinese in America and allowed a new
wave of immigrants to enter the country. Chinese American life has
flourished in the years since. Narrated by Bill Moyers, this program
presents intimate portraits of the new Chinese Americans who face a
struggle common to so many immigrants: to reconcile some losses of their
old culture in order to embrace their adopted American one. A follow-on
interview with artist and architect Maya Lin supplements the program. A
viewer’s guide, educator’s guide, and other resources are located online
at www.pbs.org/becomingamerican. |
