The China Town Files, conducted by Amy Chen, were aired on WLIW21 in New York on May 28. The files document Chinese hardship and discrimination during the McCarthyism era. What happened to the Chinese American community during the 1950s and 60s was largely the result of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, the unique history of discrimination against Chinese immigration to the United States and the anti-Communist witch hunts. Additional information on these events is provided in a timeline, bibliography, links and resources, that will shed light on the themes that emerge in the film: The Chinese Exclusion Act, The Trading with the Enemy Act, The Cold War, McCarthyism and the Red Scare climate of the 1950s. Information on China Town files can be accessed through the web site www.chinatownfiled.org. The web provides information on films, history, reviews, screening, and readings. The history, , historical timeline of events in the China Town files, lists major events from 1863 to 1979.
