Vincent Who? Film Screening
Monday, November 17, 6:30 p.m.
The New School, Arnhold Hall, Theresa Lang Community and Student
Center, 55 West 13th Street, 2nd floor
Admission: Free; no tickets or reservations required

Film screening of the new documentary Vincent Who? which continues the
story first presented in the 1987 documentary Who Killed Vincent Chin?
In 1982, Vincent Chin was murdered in Detroit by two white autoworkers
at the height of anti-Japanese sentiments in the United States. For the
first time, Asian Americans around the country galvanized to form a real
community and movement.  The documentary, inspired by a series of town
halls organized by Asian Pacific Americans for Progress on the 25th
anniversary of the case, features interviews with the key players at the
time, as well as a whole new generation of activists. Vincent Who? asks
how far Asian Americans have come since then and how far we have yet to
go.  Featured interviews include: Helen Zia (lead activist during the
Chin trial), Renee Tajima Pena (director, "Who Killed Vincent Chin?"),
Stewart Kwoh (Executive Director, Asian Pacific American Legal Center),
Lisa Ling (journalist), Sumi Pendakur (Univ. of Southern California) and
a group of five diverse young APA activists whose lives were impacted by
Vincent Chin.

Followed by a Q & A session with the filmmakers Curtis
Chin and Tony Lam. Sponsored by the New School for General Studies
Bachelor's Program.
