The upcoming Chinese New Year Parade in San Francisco is being hosted by ABC7 News for the first time, celebrating the rich cultural history of Chinatown. Among noteworthy contributors to this history are Harry and Josh Chuck, a father-son duo who captured Chinatown's resilience and challenges through their documentary, "Chinatown Rising." Harry, a second-generation resident, began his documented journey during the 1960s and 1980s, motivated by a desire to tell the stories of his community's struggles. His son, Josh, reflects on the impact of their work, emphasizing the importance of preserving these narratives for future generations.
When we first set up the projector and started watching the footage, I could tell it was my neighborhood... But all the things happening with the people-I was like, what is going on? This is crazy.
I wanted to share these stories with the children because all this was going by so quickly. It would soon be forgotten if we didn't pass them along.
