Photographic Justice: The Corky Lee Story [In-Person]

[After the screening, there will be a live in-person Q&A with the filmmakers.]

For 50 years, Chinese American photographer Corky Lee tirelessly documented Asian Pacific Americans and kept a relentless record of their everyday lives, celebrations, and struggles. He was everywhere in the New York City community and beyond–wielding his camera “like a sword to combat injustice.”

Yet, few really knew the man behind the lens. Director Jennifer Takaki’s intimate portrait reveals the triumphs and tragedies of the man who produced close to a million compelling photographs, which will forever tell the Asian Pacific American story for generations to come and transform the way America sees itself.
