This is an intimate portrait of life in the Mississippi Delta, where Chinese, African Americans and whites live in a complex world of cotton, labor, and racial conflict. The history of the Chinese community, originally brought to the South to work on cotton plantations after the Civil War, is framed against the harsh realities of civil rights, religion, politics, and class in the South. Rare historical footage and interviews of Delta residents are combined to create this unprecedented document of inter-ethnic relations in the American South. A Third World Newsreel production.
Mississippi Triangle was featured on Saturday School, a podcast hosted by Brian Hu and Ada Tseng about Asian American pop culture history. Listen to the podcast here: https://podcastpotluck.com/saturday-school.
