MANY MOONS

Directed by Chisato Uyeki Hughes

The only exception to Humboldt County’s 1885 expulsion of all “Chinamen,” Charlie Moon remains a spectral mystery to even his own descendents. Framed by the words of a ghost, this hybrid documentary/fiction film alternates between the observational search for ‘the others’ with the appearance of ghosts as the past demands recognition in the present.
