Who Killed Vincent Chen? Free On-Demand Screenings 7/16-7/18 Unlock Code: VC Detroit, 1982: Chinese-American engineer Vincent Chin is beaten to death by two white auto workers who, despite confessing to the crime, go free. Shining a light on anti-Asian racism in America, this wrenching, Academy Award-nominated documentary examines the case from all sides, touching on everything from the history of Chinese immigration to Detroit’s socioeconomic struggles to the failings of the justice system.
Complicit Free On-Demand Screenings 7/16-7/18 Unlock Code: VC “A harrowing and powerful documentary that may be set in fast developing China, but it raises an ethical question that we should all consider: From the smartphones we swipe to the Fitbits we wear, what really happens along the supply chain? Directors Heather White and Lynn Zhang make audiences face the uncomfortable truth that there is a devastating human cost to the conveniences we enjoy on a daily basis.” - The Reel Word
Get ready for WORKING in DC!
We’re taking theatre outside of the theatre. We’re bringing art to the streets. We’re creating real conversation. So get ready… This Labor Day, join us as we present Working In DC: a public celebration of the dignity of work through the lens of history, labor, justice, and the arts. Presented in collaboration with The Labor Heritage Foundation and hosted by the AFL-CIO, the performances will take place outdoors on Black Lives Matter Plaza. The headliner event of this 3 weekend-long celebration is Working, A Musical - based on the acclaimed literature of Studs Terkel with music by Broadway’s best composers - a joyful musical theatre celebration of Workers in America. Our production of Working: A Musical highlights “the extraordinary dreams of ordinary people'' through the songs of Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin, Wicked), James Taylor, Micki Grant, and Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton, In The Heights). This performance is paired with Something To Point To, our civic engagement and education programming, to create a unique and joyful celebration of labor. Working, A Musical, resonates with hopeful longing, joy, and shared humanity which reminds us of how we are connected. So meet us in the street!
