Voices of Chinatown: Here to Stay

Voices of Chinatown: Here to Stay is a short documentary film that features the story of a fifth-generation family-run store, Wing On Wo & Co., the oldest continuously operating store in Manhattan’s Chinatown on Mott Street. Inside of a Chinatown affected by rapid displacement and gentrification, fifth-generation shopkeepers Mei Lum and Gary Lum speak to how their work exists as everyday resistance to gentrification and creates sustained community in the heart of New York City. Gary and Mei share their perspectives of what it means to resist while rooted in place.
