Piece Description
Winner of the George Foster Peabody Award in 2007. Hosted by Margaret Cho. The Immigration Act of 1965, allowed Asian family members, entrepreneurs and skilled workers to immigrate to the U.S. Each Asian group found a special field of work and offered their expertise and skills to a burgeoning economy. In this program, several Asian families discuss their experiences of arriving, striving, and succeeding in this country. Immigrants in the U.S. own motels, restaurants and grocery stores, and many of our medical staff have come from Asia to fill nursing and doctor shortages. This program includes a newscast window and minute-long music breaks at :19 and :39 after the hour.
THE ACTUAL SHOW LENGTH IS 59 MINUTES. THERE ARE SEVERAL VERSIONS OF THIS SHOW DEPENDING ON HOW YOU WANT TO RUN IT.
