Curtis Chin's new documentary film
Co-sponsoring with Tucson Chinese Culture Center (TCCC), CEAS is going to host a film screening of Curtis W Chin's “Dear Corky” (2022).
About the film: For over fifty years, Corky Lee photographed New York’s Chinatown, and Asian American communities around the country. With a strong sense of social justice, he captured activists, celebrities, and everyday heroes. Sadly, Corky fell to COVID. Through his own words and pictures, Dear Corky reveals the man behind the camera.
