Running from War | Chinatown Auxiliary | Clip | Local, USA

David, a member of Manhattan Chinatown's NYPD volunteer police, shares the story of his father's escape from China and immigration to the United States. His father endured war and advised his son to do as he did. But he questions whether America is safe for him in a time of hate.
CHINATOWN AUXILIARY: Chinese residents have patrolled Manhattan's Chinatown as volunteer police to protect their home while finding belonging in a foreign country. Their stories remind us of the hope the U.S. represented to the tired, the poor, and the huddled masses. A documentary film by Cathy You.
