Christine Choy (born 1952) is a Chinese-born American filmmaker.Choy

was born in Shanghai, China as Chai Ming Huei to a Chinese mother and

a Korean father. For the most part, Choy was raised by her mother,

because her father abandoned the family shortly after Choy's birth to

return to his original home in South Korea. Growing up, the mother and

daughter struggled financially. Following the Cultural Revolution, the

family fled mainland China via Hong Kong. They moved to South Korea,

where Choy was reunited with her father. During this time, Choy

developed a strong appreciation for American films released in South

Korea. Although she enjoyed the films, Choy noticed there was

discrimination towards the Asian people in American films.In 1965,

Choy was given a scholarship to attend Manhattanville College of the

Sacred Heart in New York, where she studied architecture. While

attending, she made friends with a group of hippies that were a part

of Newsreel. At Newsreel, Choy worked as an editor and animation

director for some amount of time.In 1974, Choy directed her first

documentary, which was called Teach Our Children. After working at

Newsreel, she moved to a branch called Third World Newsreel. Because

Choy was able to relate to the poverty and the migration issues that

people around her faced, she was inspired to make another documentary,

that fused the issues she faced while back in China and South Korea

with the struggles she faced in the U.S. She finished the film, From

Spikes to Spindles, in 1976. This film focused on Chinese migration,

and focused on Chinese citizens being treated equally.
