After the Manongs labored to build America, their
San Francisco Manilatown community is wiped out by
urban renewal, and 50 old-timers are forcibly evicted
from the International Hotel by 300 cops in the dead
of night. In production for six years.
This updated version of the 1983 classic includes a new introduction and a bittersweet groundbreaking conclusion. |
