The Intercollegiate Department of Asian American Studies (IDAAS)
presents the Academy Award nominated film:
"Who Killed Vincent Chin?" (1987)
Wednesday, March 28 at 7:00 p.m.
Broad Performance Space (in Pitzer College, it is the topmost - farthest
north - building on Mills Avenue before Harvey Mudd)
In 1982, a Chinese American man named Vincent Chin was verbally
assaulted and beaten to death in Detroit. Rob Ebens and stepson Mike
Nitz, the perpetrators, were fined and given 3 years probation. The
lenient sentencing, believed to be an issue of race, caused outrage
among the Asian American community, and pushed a loving mother to speak
up for her son's rights.
Come for the FREE screening and stay for a DISCUSSION with DIRECTOR
Renee Tajima-Pena!!!
