Discover the work of pioneering Asian American filmmaker Christine Choy, whose camera tracked labour, incarceration, immigration and liberation for half a century. Oscar-nominated and honoured in the Library of Congress, Choy filmed the stories the official record left out.

The second part of our retrospective of pioneering Asian American filmmaker Christine Choy is the newly-restored 1984 feature Mississippi Triangle, an intimate portrait of the Mississippi Delta, where Chinese, African American and white locals live in a complex world of cotton, labour and racial conflict.

The history of the Chinese community, originally brought to the South to work on cotton plantations after the Civil War, is framed against the harsh realities of civil rights, religion, politics, and class in the South. Rare historical footage and interviews of Delta residents are combined to create this unprecedented document of inter-ethnic relations in the American South.
