Bittersweet Roots: The Chinese in California's Heartland

The California Delta, in the heart of the state, is the only place in America where the Chinese have maintained a sustained presence for nearly a century and a half. Here immigrants from China transformed swampland into one of the nation's richest agricultural regions. Archival imagery, dramatic re-creations, and personal family accounts tell their powerful story of triumph over adversity.
