About The Film Far East Deep South is the award-winning 76-minute documentary about a Chinese American Christian family whose search for their roots leads them to Mississippi. On this journey, they find miraculous family revelations and uncover the racially complex history of Chinese in the segregated South. The film not only shows a powerful family testimony, but it explores the seldom discussed discrimination Asians historically faced and touches upon the role of the church in helping establish Chinese mission schools. It also highlights the interconnected relationship between the Black and Chinese communities in the Jim Crow era and the generational impact of the Chinese Exclusion Act. More Info below.
