New videos from the Boston Chinatown Heritage Project
Last summer, CHSNE and the Teen Program at Castle Square Tenants Organization joined forces with the National Park Service to study and preserve the stories of Boston Chinatown. Working with local filmmakers, historians and mentors, interns from CSTO’s Teen Program created six short-films that tell the story of key people, places, and moments that have made Chinatown the thriving community center that it is today. This fall the films were unveiled at the Boston Asian American Film Festival, and now with CSTO, we present them to you for viewing online!
