"The Fall of The I-Hotel" - After the manongs labored to build America, their San Francisco community is wiped out by urban renewal, and 50 old-timers are forcibly evicted from the International Hotel by 300 cops in the dead of night. This film documents destruction of the last block of Manilatown on Kearny Street.

  • This clip was originally produced under the auspices of the Asian American Media Center, Inc., a nonprofit entity, by Christopher Chow and Curtis Choy in 1979 as the trailer for the Manongs Film Project, which eventually became The Fall of the I-Hotel. The visions and goals that propelled the project are realized and renewed every time a person sees the film, its fragments or its heirs and acts upon their experience. We thank you profoundly.

  • I was fortunate enough to watch "The Fall of the I Hotel" for a class at U.C. Santa Cruz in 1993. Curtis Choy's perfect documentary has forever changed my life. Please watch it and turn everybody you know on to it. Love someone today. --Eli
