A concise history of Asian immigration to the U.S.
9/11/17. This is a well-done documentary that provides a concise and poignant look at Asian (Chinese, Japanese, and Filipinos) immigration to the U.S. A good mix of personal narrative, historical media and expert commentators provide a well-rounded picture for each Asian ethnic group. While their immigration experiences differed they all unfortunately share the common barrier of racism. Home from the Eastern Sea was awarded the American Scene Award by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Seattle Chapter. It was also nominated for "Outstanding Documentary Historical/Biography by the same organization. Worth catching if you want to understand the Asian- American experience.
