About PAPER ANGELS

This television adaptation of Genny Lim's play dramatizes a chapter in the history of the Chinese immigrant experience in America. Set in the early 1900s, the program recounts the experiences of the men and women detained at the immigration station on Angel Island in the San Francisco Bay. The new arrivals express their hopes and anxieties as they try to reconcile their Chinese heritage with their new lives in California.

_______________________________________________________________________________

GENNY LIM's ground-breaking play PAPER ANGELS was the first Asian American play to air on PBS's American Playhouse on Monday, June 17, 1985 at 9:00 PM.

Join us at MOCA on January 14 for a special event. This program is not a full performance of the opera but an insightful discussion featuring select musical excerpts. Engage with Huang Ruo and the Del Sol Quartet in a conversation exploring the creation of Angel Island, offering a chance for deeper engagement with the themes and history behind the production.

Presented by BAM and Prototype Festival, we will have a new production of Angel Island. Music by Huang Ruo, directed by Matthew Ozawa and film by Bill Morrison. The Choir of Trinity Wall Street will be our collaborators on stage.

The India Basin Waterfront Park project is a partnership between Rec and Park, Trust for Public Land, San Francisco Parks Alliance, A. Philip Randolph Institute, and the Bayview-Hunters Point community.

The India Basin Waterfront Park project is guided by an Equitable Development Plan (EDP), a first for San Francisco. It ensures that the waterfront park will benefit current Bayview-Hunters Point (BVHP) residents while preserving the culture and identity of the historic neighborhood. It provides a blueprint for delivering a park designed by and for the community while improving economic opportunity and environmental health for its residents.
