Sun is ready to leave his village in China for America, the place known as Gum Saan, Gold Mountain. His father warns him, though, that passage will not be easy.
Because of the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, Sun is detained at Angel Island, where he must pass a difficult test before he can land.
Based on a true story, Landed vividly recounts an amazing chapter in Chinese American history.
