vincent who spring screening tour

This week, the award-winning documentary Vincent Who? kicks off its spring tour, with over 40 screenings at schools around the country. The film is a look at the legacy of the Vincent Chin hate crime murder case, and its impact on the API community over twenty-five years later.

Writer/producer Curtis Chin will be showing the film then conducting a post-screening Q&A about the Vincent Chin case, AAPI political empowerment, and coalition building. Here's the current tour schedule, which is still being updated:

If you haven't seen this film, I highly recommend seeking it out and attending one of the screenings. It's a nice follow-up to Who Killed Vincent Chin?, and if you're unfamiliar with the murder case, it's practically required viewing.
