So, 'Chinese Stories' dives into the complexities of Chinese migration to Mexico, starting in the 1900s.

It’s an intimate look at identity and belonging through personal stories that resonate with both light and dark undertones. The pacing feels a bit reflective at times, allowing you to digest the weight of history. What sets it apart is the combination of personal narratives and broader socio-political commentary — it’s not just about the facts, it’s about the lives behind those facts. You really get a sense of how xenophobia shapes experiences, which is pretty powerful.
