"My Life in China" Film Screening

In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Chatham Square Library will host a film series in May which highlights the unique experiences of Chinese-Americans.

On Saturday, May 6, there will be a screening of Kenneth Eng’s documentary My Life in China. Eng writes: “My father fled the Cultural Revolution in 1966. After risking his life to get to America, he started our family in Boston. But when his restaurant went bankrupt and my mom got sick, he began to feel like he’d failed at the American Dream. A story of migration is passed down from father to son, as we retrace the precarious steps he took in search of a better life. Ultimately asking the question, what does it mean to be both Chinese and American?”

This is a FREE program and will be hosted in a first come, first serve basis. All ages are welcome.
