The Changing Role of Asian Women In Hollywood From the very first moment Hollywood laid eyes on the beautiful Anna May Wong, American cinema has portrayed Asian women through a narrow lens influenced by western biases.

The film will be followed by a panel discussion focused on debunking Asian women stereotypes and the success or failure of such efforts within the broader context of a national media and Hollywood. Wine and movie food provided. Time: 6:00 to 9:00 PM
