Description
The "Little Manilla" section of Stockton, Calif., filled with chop-suey houses, gambling dens and dance halls, served as the de facto hometown for displaced Filipinos at the turn of the 20th century. In its heyday, this lively area contained the largest population of Filipinos outside of the Philippines. LITTLE MANILLA: FILIPINOS IN CALIFORNIA'S HEARTLAND details the impact of Fillipino immigrants on the community from the 1930s to the present. Educators, historians, labor leaders and long-time residents recount the immigrant story — the backbreaking farm work, low wages and racism — in Filipinos' pursuit of the American dream. The final part of the documentary examines the efforts to save Little Manila's last standing buildings.
