'A Letter to Chinatown' Documentary Film Screening

Join us at HOME Manchester (Cinema 2) on Wednesday, 6 November at 3:30PM for a special viewing of this captivating documentary followed by a thought-provoking Q&A session with the filmmakers and special guests.

'A Letter to Chinatown' (2024) is a documentary film project recorded over 10 years in Manchester, Oxford, London and Hong Kong. A 21st century coming of age story, we meet Daniel. He is a decade on from 'British Born Chinese' (2015), no longer living in his family takeaway, but preparing to graduate from Oxford University. Within a matter of weeks, life rapidly propels him from train to train, city to city and headlong into adulthood. As Daniel grapples with the complexities of family, found family, and community, we are granted extraordinary access into this turbulent year of his life. 'A Letter to Chinatown' is a poetic, philosophical and emotional journey across time and place, in search of self and belonging.

Perfect for young adults, youth, parents, and anyone interested in stories of identity, family, and finding your place in the world.
