Play Trailer
Depicting the last days of Detroit’s Chinatown, 16-mm outtakes reverberate across a history of forced displacement and violence present in the broader Chinatown project. Emerging from these outtakes is the unelaborated story of the filmmaker’s grandmother, a former Detroit Chinatown restaurant worker.
