This new documentary probes a little-known corner of race relations in the U.S., the triangular relationship between Chinese, blacks and whites in the Mississippi Delta community. There are some 5,000 Chinese in northwestern Mississippi, their community dating back to the mid-1800s. A close and complex relationship with the black community was formed early on by contact between Chinese shopowners and black sharecroppers; it exists today, cemented by extensive intermarriages. But the Chinese remain a small and culturally separate group amid the white majority and the black minority, in an area with a long history of racial discrimination. Filmmakers Christine Choy, Worth Long and Allan Siegel document the Chinese community's history through archival footage and family vignettes, exploring the attitudes of many thoughtful and articulate people, from pensive “oldtimers” to determined youngsters. A mosaic style of editing maintains the filmmakers' neutral theme--the triangle of inter-relatedness--but their use of three, racially separate film crews to elicit dramatically honest responses carries its own message. Producer-project director Christine Choy's award-winning films include Bittersweet Survival (1980) and To Love, Honor and Obey (1981).
