From Spikes to Spindles

From "spikes" to "spindles," a gritty and timely portrait of New York's Chinatown emerges in this unflinching documentary from a pioneering Chinese-American filmmaker. Through the eyes of community members who join forces to resist police brutality and exploitative developers, we witness a vibrant tapestry of protest and activism that stretches from the early laborers driving the transcontinental railroad to the garment workers of today. With bold strokes, this raw and unapologetic film paints a searing overview of a community forging its own path in America.
