Sorry all, Forgot to mention that these films are being shown at the Gene Siskel Center as part of the Asian American Film Festival.
N Subject: HISTORY RECORDED, HISTORY REPEATED Thu. April 8th, 8:15pm Documentary Program | 97min HISTORY RECORDED, HISTORY REPEATED News media literally makes history. But what about the stories not being told, the stories that remain in the background? Compare how an event as powerful as 9/11 is covered objectively and subjectively on the news. These documentaries represent another perspective, the Asian American impact on the power of the press. EYEWITNESS: STAN HONDA John Esaki | 2003 | 26 min | video | USA A Japanese American photojournalist recounts the horror of not only 9/11, but also the war in Iraq, and the moving stories of the subjects who survived the tragedies he captures through his camera lens. LEST WE FORGET Jason DeSilva | 2003 | 57 min | 16mm | USA Why must history repeat itself? Japanese Americans reflect on how their internment during World War II draws eerie parallels to the tragic firsthand accounts of unconstitutional detainment and deportation of "suspicious" Arabs, South Asian, Indians, Pakistanis and anyone of brown skin tone by the post-9/11 American government. A powerful plea against the media silence of unjust racial profiling that exacts an enormous human toll, and its effects on innocent families and whole generations. THE YELLOW TRUTH X. Dean Lim | 2003 | 14 min | video | USA A humorous, yet stark look at the process of the institutionalizing of Asian Americans in the Hollywood movie industry. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
