What to Expect:
Experience three compelling short documentaries that capture the heart of our community's stories:
Chicago Cafe follows Paul and Nancy Fong as they prepare to close their family's century-old restaurant in Woodland—a poignant reflection on legacy and what it means to walk away from a place that's been a fixture in the Woodland community
Rising traces the history of Hanford's China Alley and documents generations of the Wing family who have preserved this historic Central Valley landmark, including its recovery after the fire that destroyed the historic Taoist Temple
Voices — Women of the Delta amplifies the often-overlooked stories of women from historic Locke, CA, connecting themes of family, place, and belonging
Following the screenings, join us for a discussion with the filmmakers and documentary subjects, offering a unique opportunity to hear the stories behind the stories.
This free community event celebrates the preservation of Chinese American history and the power of documentary film to honor our shared heritage. Feel free to bring popcorn and enjoy a true community movie night experience! All are welcome!
