Hollywood Chinese

From the first Chinese-American film produced in 1916, to Ang Lee's triumphant Brokeback Mountain nine decades later, this films brings together a group of actors, writers, directors -- and iconic film images -- to examine Chinese contributions to an industry that was often ignorant and dismissive about race.

These stories and film clips from more than 90 films -- some dating back to the 1890s -- weave a rich tapestry and complex history.
