The Chinese Exclusion Act Ratings & Reviews
IndieWire
Hanh Nguyen
Defining what it means to be an American has been an imperfect and ongoing struggle since the nation began, but The Chinese Exclusion act is doing its part to make sure that conversation stays alive.

It's well-produced, exhaustive in its facts and stories, and its importance. It will also challenge the current discussion of U.S. immigration policy. I've had to shift my thinking as a result.
