The Untold Story of RMS Titanic's Chinese Passengers
SURVIVING TITANIC WASN'T THE GREATEST OBSTACLE
THEY HAD TO OVERCOME IN THEIR LIVES
When RMS Titanic sank on a cold night in 1912, barely 700 people escaped with their lives. Among them were six Chinese men. Arriving in New York with the other survivors, the six were met not with compassion, but suspicion and slander. Less than 24 hours later, they were expelled from the country, and vanished.
What became of them, and why did they disappear so completely? In an epic journey that crosses continents, an international team of investigators sets out to uncover the truth about the six Chinese, and to right a century-old injustice.
For the first time, we discover who these men really were, tracing their origins and tracking down descendants denied access to their history. The Six is an extraordinary story of survival and dignity in the face of racism and anti-immigrant policy that still reverberates today.
'a clear-eyed examination of global racism...intricate and fascinating'
'The emotional impact of the exhaustive research is gripping...this film is a window into the open racism against immigrants, the ramifications of which are still deeply felt today.'
'With James Cameron on board as executive producer and contributor, it could make waves.'
'A tale beyond the Titanic, a story shaped by racial discrimination and anti-immigration policy that has taken on particular resonance today following recent anti-Asian abuse in the US.'
'adds a new chapter to the history of the world's most famous ship.'
