Event Details

Join us, OCA-WHV, and the Westchester Human Rights Commission for a timely and clear-sighted look at the discrimination sometimes faced by the Asian community - and a determined call to help end it.

In addition to our usual monthly movie, we'll be joined by speakers touching on the reality of recent instances of racism toward Asian Americans and what people can do to help.

This month's film, following the same themes as the presentation, is the 2023 drama A Great Divide. The Lee family leave the Bay Area for a fresh start in the rural expanses of Wyoming, only to encounter hostility and xenophobia in their new community. How they confront these issues will break them - or make them stronger. Starring Ken Jeong, Jae Suh Park, Emerson Min, and directed by Jean Shim, A Great Divide tells a wrenching yet tender tale of a Korean American family repairing itself after struggle and loss.

Light refreshments will be served.

Please Note: Unlike the usual films in the Asian Film Series, A Great Divide will be screened in English. 

This event is cosponsored by OCA-WHV, a national non-profit civil rights organization promoting and protecting the political, economic, and cultural rights of all Asian Pacific Islander Americans through initiative at all levels of the government.
