Join us for a free screening of From Spikes to Spindles. This groundbreaking 1976 documentary captures the transformation of New York’s Chinatown from the turbulent 1960s into the era of political and social awakening. Directed by Christine Choy, the film offers a raw and powerful look at how the Chinese American community navigated racism, labor struggles, and the shifting urban landscape of the city. Blending personal stories with historical footage, it reveals both the challenges and the resilience of immigrants as they build a sense of identity and solidarity.
