Crossing East A selection of award-winning

documentaries about the many waves of Asian immigration into this country and their impact on

the making of America.

Exclusion and Resistance Saturday, May 7, 1pm Hosted by George Takei. “Keep

Asians Out” has been the consistent message toward Asian immigrants ever since the Exclusion Act of 1882. Hear about immigration laws through their effects on individuals—the incarceration and interrogation of Chinese at Angel Island in San Francisco Bay, court cases brought by Sikh and Japanese Americans to redefine “white,” laws enticing Filipinos to leave the country, and the current issues of Cambodian American deportation.

Post ’65 Generation Wednesday, May 11, 8pm Hosted by Margaret Cho.

The Immigration Act of 1965 allowed Asian family members, entrepreneurs, and skilled workers to immigrate to the United States. Each Asian group found a special field of work and offered its expertise and skills to a burgeoning economy. Several Asian families discuss their experiences of arriving, striving, and succeeding in this country.
