Dean Wong's sensitive eye and man-of-the-people interviews bring North America's Chinatowns to life: the drag queen deciding to stop his AIDS medications and die with dignity; the elderly Chinese American facing eviction as the neighborhood gentrifies; the man who challenged Bruce Lee to a fight ... and lost. His photos and vignettes shed light on an oft-overlooked American experience.
 
At turns poignant, heartbreaking, and uplifting, Seeing the Light captures four decades of Asian American life in West Coast Chinatowns.
