10th Annual Asian American Film Series presents Bittersweet Roots: the Chinese in California's Heartland
The California Delta, in the heart of the state, is the only place in America where the Chinese have maintained and sustained a presence for nearly a century and a half. Here, immigrants from China transformed swampland into one of the richest agricultural regions on Earth. This is their story, about how they came and thrived despite hardship and discrimination, an experience that has been both bitter and sweet. Admission is free for SBTHP members, $5 suggested donation for non-members. Dinner can be purchased at 6PM (one hour before screening); reception to follow. Call (805) 961-5374 for more details.
