Single DVD Description:
Hawaii's Chinatown features stories of the Chinese sojourners who came to Hawaii as sugar plantations who became successful merchants, politicians and community leaders in Honolulu's waterfront. Overcoming hardships, prejudice and catastrophes, sojourners endure and assimilate into Hawaii while retaining Chinese customs and traditions.

Hawaii's Chinatown introduces the viewers to interviews with several historical authorities as well as relatives of prominent figures. With extensive use of historical photos, archival films and original documents the chronology of Chinese immigrants in Hawaii is beautifully illustrated.

In addition to stories of early days and recent events of Hawaiiâs Chinatown, students from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music perform original music. ÊIt is a remarkable and timely portrait of people and a place, which are making a difference in our understanding of life.
Ê
Doug Ross Producer
