Far East Deep South is an award-winning feature documentary produced by Larissa Lam and Baldwin Chiu, a husband-wife music and filmmaking team based in Los Angeles. Baldwin grew up here at Laguna. The film presents a very personal and unique perspective on immigration, race and American identity as it explores the seldom-told history of Chinese immigrants living in the American South during the late 1800s to mid-1900. The film not only highlights the struggles and perseverance of the Chinese, but explores the racial dynamics between the white, Black and Chinese communities and the added challenge of exclusionary immigration policies many families faced at that time. The documentary will be shown at Laguna Chinese Baptist Church on Friday, June 24 at 7:30 PM.
