Instrumental in the success of Disney's animated film, Bambi, Tyrus Wong's life is detailed from his month long stay at
Angel Island and the challenges he faced due to the Exclusion Act along with other laws that affected the work he
was allowed to do. Being denied the right to become a citizen, to lease or buy property are a small sample of
what he had to deal with. Support from fellow artists due to his tremendous talent did gain him recognition in
his field. An important addition to Chinese American history in a country that still considers Asians as other.
