Whether it's in New York or Toronto, Chinatowns are being attacked by the forces of gentrification, development pressure, and much more.

Colin Ellis and Nam Kiwanuka talk with director Karen Cho and community organizer Rick Wong about how Cho's new documentary, "Big Fight in Little Chinatown," shows how people are mobilizing to save these places.
