Third World Newsreel presents a major fall retrospective honoring Christine Choy, co-founder of TWN and an iconic figure in Asian American documentary. For over five decades, Choy trained her camera on the people the official record overlooked: Chinatown’s garment workers and tenants, incarcerated women, Southeast Asian refugees, families separated between North and South Korea, and communities across the Mississippi Delta.
The retrospective brings nine of her works (including two newly preserved films) to the big screen, continuing TWN’s “Preservation as Resistance” campaign which began with “A Litany for Survival: The Life and Work of Audre Lorde” that kicked off the year. The campaign demonstrates the importance of archival preservation during a time of systematic erasure.
