The oldest ethnic community in Washington, D.C. is not the African American community, but Chinatown. A documentary profiling that community is scheduled to be screened at the “Our City Film Festival” on March 10.
But the film simply titled Chinatown is in need of funds so it can complete post-production. A Kickstarter campaign is 60 percent toward reaching its goal.

The last full-service Chinese grocery store closed in 2005. ” said filmmaker Yi Chen to Sampan.
