Director Ali Kazimi has been rescuing orphaned home movies that have been left to decay over decades. Knowing the rarity of early 20th-century home movies featuring people of colour, he acquires a collection by Silas Fung, a commercial artist in Chicago whose films reveal the middle-class lives of a Chinese-American family from the 1930s to the post-war period. Searching out the Fungs' surviving descendants, Kazimi's memoir offers a different perspective on a Midwestern family of colour.
