Film Description
Enticed by the promise of jobs and fair wages, 100,000 Filipinos immigrated to the US between 1924 and 1935 to toil on California's farmlands. Because of the exclusion of Filipina women's immigration and US anti-miscegenation laws, they survived the loneliness of racial discrimination by creating close-knit bachelor societies and entering into common law marriages, where cockfights, poker games and dance halls served as their entertainment.
