"Sinners" - Movie Review & 1930s Mississippi Delta History

In this special episode of Love, Discovery and Dim Sum, hosts Larissa Lam and Only Won aka Baldwin Chiu dive into a compelling review of the box office hit film Sinners, set in the 1930s Mississippi Delta. They explore how the film portrays the story of Chinese American families living in the segregated South during Jim Crow—a narrative that closely mirrors their own family history, as seen in their award-winning documentary Far East Deep South. Larissa and Baldwin discuss the historical accuracy of Sinners, the cultural and racial dynamics of Chinese grocers in the Deep South, and how this film helps shine a light on the forgotten legacy of Chinese immigrants in Mississippi. If you’re a fan of hidden history, Asian American stories, or powerful film reviews with cultural insight, this episode is a must-listen.
