In 1982, Vincent Chin was murdered in Detroit by two white autoworkers at the height of anti-Japanese sentiments. For the first time, Asian America ns around the country galvanized to form a real community and movement. This documentary 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.

Alamo Bay, directed by Truffaut, is an excellent movie about the KKK's persecution of Vietnamese fishermen Houston in the early 80s. Mention it because if you haven't seen it, it may be of interest. Thank God Houston has come a long way since then, but Texas is still full of these types of pockets, as is much of the South. The laws and court systems down here seem to have been designed to circumvent the fourteenth amendment and the Civil Rights Act as much as possible.
