Separate lives, broken dreams the saga of Chinese immigration

This program gives an in-depth look at the decisions behind and the consequences that followed the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which barred Chinese from emigrating to the U.S. for 87 years. It examines a period in U.S. history embattled with labor disputes, scapegoating and immigration issues. Personal interviews and archival footage illustrate how families were either kept together or tragically torn apart, and how this affected generations of Chinese and Chinese Americans.
