Archive for the “PBS” Category2007 May 29, 2009 Informative documentary about the history of Chinese-Americans in Hollywood films. Unlike the Jewish film community or the Black “Race Films” of the early 20th century, Chinese-Americans had few, if any, people who looked like them represented on movie screens. Great old footage and interviews with the pioneers of Chinese-American filmmaking are included. Also included are the examples of white actors pretending to be Asian. I suppose if you lived in the 1940s in Iowa, perhaps you didn’t realize that Charlie Chan didn’t look Asian at all. A nice eye-opener. 8.4 IMDB HOLLYWOOD CHINESE Tags: 8.4, Arthur Dong, DocumentaryA STORY FROM THE DEEP SOUTH
