"9-Man" 5/5 at 8 PM on WORLD Channel

Via Liz Cheng and Boby Goon

"9-Man" film about "macho" volleyball played in Chinatowns across the U.S. Tomorrow night/Tuesday 5/5 at 8 PM on WORLD Channel.

Hello all,
Tomorrow night (Tuesday, May 5) at 8 PM, WORLD Channel will air an amazing documentary about the phenomenon of 9-man volleyball which originated in Chinatowns across the country close to a century ago. According to Richard Chin: "For those of us who grew up in Chinatown and experienced the Chinese volleyball tournaments as either players or spectators, this sport was unique and so very well embraced throughout the Chinese American communities across the nation, not only as an athletic event, but also as ethnic camaraderie and preserving cultural traditions.   A few shots of Boston Chinatown are included in this film."

This film was just reviewed by The New York Times and NPR’s “The Takeaway” just featured the Chinese American filmmaker — who is from Massachusetts.
