Though it’s only showing in Chicago, this is post-worthy because many aren’t aware of the story/murder of Vincent Chin, and how his killers basically got away.  Come see the documentary VINCENT WHO? during the Asian American Film Showcase in Chicago. Director Tony Lam will be there for a Q & A.


In 1982, Vincent Chin was brutally murdered in Detroit at the height of anti-Japanese sentiment. In a travesty of justice, the judge ruled it a case of manslaughter and the two killers, both autoworkers, never served a day in jail.


More than twenty-five years later, that case remains a touchstone in the struggle for civil rights and the advancement of the Asian American community. In this new documentary, VINCENT WHO?, we take a quick look back at the case, but more importantly we examine the effects the case had on the leading community activists of today and the future leaders of tomorrow.
