“Flashback: Oral Histories of D.C. Chinatown” is a joint project between filmmaker Penny Lee and 1882 Foundation, with support from HumanitiesDC, to share unpublished oral histories of residents of D.C.’s Chinatown. Through a series of ten short films, the project showcases the voices of twelve Chinatown residents to tell stories about family, immigration, growing up in D.C., and what the community is like today.
The project also created an Instagram series to accompany the films; visit @flashbackchinatowndc for more in-depth biographical sketches of our narrators.
Stay tuned for additional updates on upcoming events and releases of additional materials.
