Cynthia Yee, a lifelong resident of Boston’s Chinatown, revisits the neighborhood that shaped her life. Along the way, she crosses paths with Gwen, a college student whose future is intertwined with the neighborhood’s growth. Through their intergenerational dialogue, the film becomes a portrait of memory, identity, belonging and cultural continuity in one of Boston’s most historic enclaves.

"LOVE, CHINATOWN opens its historical tour of Boston’s Chinatown with a warm, engaging introduction from charismatic lifelong resident Cynthia Yee. Though her narration initially suggests a personal biography in keeping with Breakwater’s signature style, the film unfolds over its 19-minute runtime into something broader and more resonant: a poignant exploration of community, resilience, and the Asian-American experience." - S/W Curator, @_robmunday
