Source: "MARVA NABILI, an immigrant film maker from Iran, has written and directed Nightsongs, a fictional portrait of Chinese immigrants in New York. Having spent several years living near and even working in Chinatown, she has compiled a haunting biography of outsiders trying to survive in a new environment. The slice-of-life details are depicted with the immediacy of a documentary using a hidden camera. Being presented as part of public television's American Playhouse series,"

One suggestion on the hook is to clarify which Chinatown ie "...the struggles of a family in New York's Chinatown." I know it's possible to hover over the link and identify which one it is but I think the additional specificity helps create curiosity. EEHalli (talk) 14:01, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
