Who Killed Vincent Chin? is an Academy Award–nominated film that serves as a powerful statement about racism in working-class America. The 1987 documentary recounts the stark facts surrounding the brutal murder of Vincent Chin, a 27-year-old Chinese American man. Join Asia Society for a screening of Who Killed Vincent Chin? along with a conversation on the lasting legacy of Chin’s death. Michelle Yun Mapplethorpe, vice president for global artistic programs and director of Asia Society Museum, leads a discussion with artists Kenneth Tam and Siyan Wong to look at the current rise in violence against the Asian American and Pacific Islander community and how the arts may play a meaningful role in effecting real change against xenophobia and racial violence.
