Representation and Film with Reel Asian Film Festival

Almost 40 years after the murder of Vincent Chin — a Chinese-American in the budding auto-industry in Detroit, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought a rise in hate-motivated attacks against Asian people across North America. “Who killed Vincent Chin” is a 1987 documentary that Reel Asian Film Festival will be screening (for free) May 26 and 27 to bring up uncomfortable realities, a history of Asian activism as #API month comes to a close. We spoke with Aram Collier, the head of programming at Reel Asian to discuss the role of representation and storytelling in film that share Asian disaporic stories.
