INTERVIEW ALERT! I was recently interviewed for a FOX 2 News report on the destruction of one of the last buildings in Detroit's Chinatown. Sadly, the building was demolished, but here's an OP-ED I wrote for the Free Press.

And here is a segment from Tucson's public TV station and their show, Arizona Illustrated. The story is about the Tucson Chinese Cultural Center, but I am featured starting at 5:11

Dear Corky and Other Chinatown Stories

 Our award-winning documentary will be available o Kanopy, along with three of our other shorts on Chinatown, focusing on Chicago, Boston, and San Francisco. Be on the lookout!
