Abstract:

"How do communities cope with change? The last half of the twentieth century has seen a tremendous change in the demographics of many North American cities. Richmond, DC, is a prime example. A huge wave of Asian immigrants has settled in this land that once belonged exclusively to the Musqueams, and later saw the arrival of mostly Europeans. How can people learn to accept change, while retaining a sense of their own community? Richmond is trying to create a positive outcome." Produced by Asterisk Productions. Directed by Michael Simpson. With companion book 'Ways We Live'.
