Chinaman's Chance: America's Other Slaves

In 1870s America, a Chinese immigrant falsely accused of murdering a white woman is viciously hunted down and must prove his innocence in a time when people of color had "no legal rights" and could be bought and sold for a profit. "Railroad to Hell: A Chinaman's Chance" explores the exploitation of Chinese workers during the building of American railroads. The workers not only toiled for many long hours daily, but their work was often dangerous and fatal. The Chinaman is a fugitive on the run, and all odds are against him. While stealing a horse was a hanging offense in the Old West, the fugitive knows that killing a Chinaman is not a crime.
