Paper Children (2016)

Paper Children is based on the true story of Angel Island, the location of an immigration station in San Francisco from 1910-1940 which also served to process Chinese immigrants whose entry was restricted by the Chinese Exclusion Law of 1882. These newcomers to America were held anywhere from a few weeks to several months or even years, and some carved their stories - and documented their harsh treatment - into the wooden walls of their detention barracks.
