Movie Abacus

[Doug 周]

I just saw this wonderful independent movie about the Abacus Savings and Loan based in Manhattan Chinatown. This is a niche movie and members will not find it in your local cineplex.

Take the opportunity to view it if Abacus makes a limited run at your local independent film movie venue or regional Asian film festival.

Interesting story.

Another interesting story: The Six: The Untold Story of RMS Titanic's Chinese Passengers

"The story of the six Chinese survivors of the Titanic disaster has been forgotten by history. In 'The Six', we learn how these remarkable men beat the odds to make it out alive, only to be singled out for expulsion from the US within 24 hours of their arrival. We track down their descendants for the first time. And we trace their extraordinary journey from Southern China to become silent witnesses to one of the twentieth century’s most infamous and intriguing events."
