VINCENT WHO? (40
minutes) - In 1982, Vincent Chin was murdered in Detroit by two white
autoworkers at the height of anti-Japanese sentiments. For the first time, Asian
Americans around the country galvanized to form a real community and movement.
This 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), Dale Minami (civic
rights attorney), Frank Wu (former Dean, Wayne State Law School), Doua Thor
(Executive Director, Southeast Asian Resource Action Center) and a group of five
diverse young APA activists whose lives were impacted by Vincent Chin.
