Finding Cleveland

Finding Cleveland is a 2015 American documentary film about a Chinese American family's journey to search for their family roots.

[1] They uncover not only the history of their family, but also that of the early Chinese American settlers: an entire community caught between the black and white population.

In addition to them dealing with the obvious racism, segregation, loneliness, depression, and financial burdens, they had to do it during a time when Congress enacted the only act in American history that explicitly targeted a specific ethnic group; The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.

It continues to be shown at libraries, museums, churches, and schools.

On May 18, 2017, it made its broadcast debut on PBS Mississippi.
