Details

A group of Chinese American women came of age during the golden age of San Francisco Chinatown nightlife. Now in their seventies, eighties, and nineties, these women continue to perform and embark on journeys that take them from San Francisco to Las Vegas, Hawaiʻi, Havana, Shanghai, and Beijing...

Join us for a screening of the award-wining 2024 documentary "Chinatown Cha-Cha 女人世界"!

It is an intimate and visually compelling documentary about memory, migration, aging, performance, and the overlooked histories of Chinese American women and global Chinese diaspora.

We also invite you to a post-screening conversation with the director Luka Yuanyuan Yang 杨圆圆 and some of the protagonists!

This event is open to all Princeton students regardless of identity.
