The Tacoma Method: How the City of Destiny Reconciles its Racist Past

The Tacoma Method is a powerful telling of the story of the expulsion of the Chinese community from Tacoma, Washington in 1885 with a historically based libretto by Beijing-born poet Zhang Er and evocative and soaring music by Gregory Youtz. This film elaborates on the opera that tells the history of the Chinese Expulsion from the City of Tacoma as a way for the City of Destiny to reconcile its racist past.
