taryn Posted June 12, 2006 at 06:15 PM Report Posted June 12, 2006 at 06:15 PM This is a totally random question: Has anyone else seen the documentary Mississippi Triangle? I remember seeing it years ago on PBS. Apparently it was made in 1985. SYNOPSIS: from http://www.twn.org/record.cgi?recno=75 This is an intimate portrait of life in the Mississippi Delta, where Chinese, African Americans and Whites live in a complex world of cotton, labor, and racial conflict. The history of the Chinese community is framed against the harsh realities of civil , religion, politics, and class in the South. Rare historical footage and interviews of Delta residents are combined to create this unprecedented document of inter-ethnic relations in the American South. I'd like to watch it again but not to the tune of $75. [Additional info here:http://www.asianweek.com/2001_11_02/news_mississippi.html] Quote
gato Posted June 13, 2006 at 12:02 AM Report Posted June 13, 2006 at 12:02 AM I seem to remember seeing parts of it -- or maybe it's just that I've heard of it. Maybe a local college library has it, and you can watch it there. Quote
