Description

Set in 1865, COOLIES reveals the harsh truth about life for thousands of Chinese laborers during the construction of the American railroad. Through the eyes of two immigrant brothers, Shek and Little Wong, we share the hardships they face – injuries, explosions and avalanches – and rejoice in their victories. More importantly, the story also challenges us to think about social injustice as we celebrate the love and loyalty between brothers who are determined not only to survive, but to succeed.
