ABOUT THE FILM
Big Fight in Little Chinatown is a story of community resistance and resilience. Set against the backdrop of the COVID pandemic and an unprecedented rise in anti-Asian racism, the documentary takes us into the lives of residents, businesses and community organizers whose neighborhoods are facing active erasure.
Coast to Coast the film follows Chinatown communities resisting the pressures around them. From the construction of the world’s largest vertical jail in New York, Montreal’s fight against developers swallowing up the most historic block of their Chinatown, big box chains and gentrification forces displacing Toronto’s community, to a Vancouver Chinatown business holding steadfast, the film reveals how Chinatown is both a stand-in for other communities who’ve been wiped off the city map, and the blueprint for inclusive and resilient neighbourhoods of the future.

關於電影
《唐人街大奮鬥》是一個關於社區抵抗和復原力的故事。 這部紀錄片以新冠疫情大流行和反亞裔
種族主義空前興起的背景為背景，帶我們走進居民、商家和社區組織者的生活，他們的社區正在
面臨著被抹除。
影片從東海岸到西海岸，講述了唐人街社區抵抗周圍壓力的故事。 從紐約建造世界上最大的垂直
監獄、蒙特利爾與開發商吞併唐人街最具歷史意義的街區的鬥爭、大型連鎖店和中產階級化勢力
取代多倫多社區，到溫哥華唐人街商家的堅定不移，影片揭示了唐人街如何既是其他已從城市地
圖上消失的社區的替代品，也是未來包容性和彈性社區的藍圖。
