Welcome to the official website of FAR EAST DEEP SOUTH*, a new documentary feature film that follows the Chiu Family on a surprising journey through Mississippi in search of their lost family history. Along the way, they meet a diverse group of local residents and historians, who shed light on the racially complex history of the early Chinese in the segregated South.
