Theirs is a documentary film about the history of the town of Locke in the Sacramento River Delta. They explore the origins of the town, the lives of the Chinese people who lived there, and the commemorative museum. Our judges commented that the project was very well thought out and withstood penetrating questions from adult academics, historian, and judges.
