Toronto Reel Asian International Festival organizer will be holding a special virtual screening at the end of May. The documentary Who killed Vincent Chin, which was nominated Best Documentary at the 61st Academy Award, recounts the murder that happened in Detroit in 1982. Then 27-year-old Chin was fatally beaten to death at the night of his bachelor party, by two white unemployed autoworkers who thought Chin was Japanese. It was the time many Americans felt Japan was to blame for US auto workers losing their jobs. Reel Asian would like to put a new lens on the issue of anti-Asian racism in North America to highlight this rather uncomfortable yet relevant pandemic reality.
