Far East Deep South explores the seldom-told history of early Chinese immigrants living in the American South during the late 1800s to mid-1900s through the eyes of Charles Chiu and his family as they travel from California to Mississippi to find answers about his father, K.C. Lou.

The simple family trip leads to unexpected and emotional encounters with local residents. Along the way, they get a crash course on the history of the early Chinese immigrants and Black sharecroppers in the Deep South that they never knew.They meet historians and Mississippi Delta residents of all colors who help fill in the blanks to their family’s life in Mississippi. At every turn, more surprising revelations pop up and change their family forever.
