Vanishing Chinatown: The World of the May’s Photo Studio(2020)
movie - first aired/released 2020-02-23 - 28 min
Directed by Emiko Omori
The May’s Photo Studio brings families together: in the past by splicing together family portraits in spite of the Chinese Exclusion Act, and in the present by reconnecting May’s granddaughter with her family’s legacy. These stunning photographs show San Francisco’s Chinatown in the early to mid-20th century, a vanishing “old Chinatown” vibrant with culture; an immigrant community becoming Americanized.
