Free screening of Anna May Wong: In Her Own Words
This particular documentary is by Yunah Hong. Not to be confused with Elaine Mae Woo's documentary, Frosted Yellow Willows.
It will be interesting to see the approach in which Yunah Hong tells Anna May Wong's story. (If someone is able to go, please let me know about your experience/thoughts. You can submit an entry to annamay_daily, if you'd like. Thanks!)
Anyways, Elaine Mae Woo will be screening Frosted Yellow Willows in Europe. I will post the event details after this event has taken place. I want to avoid any confusion I might cause.

Description: Anna May Wong: In Her Own Words is an hour long documentary about how a Chinese laundryman’s daughter became an international star, a member of high society, an activist and an artist despite the racism and sexism of the day. Anna May Wong (1905-1961) was a premier Chinese American film star and stage actress who achieved worldwide fame and popularity in the 1920s and the 1930s. The documentary unfolds her experiences as an ambitious Chinese American woman in the public eye. It also shows Anna through my eyes and those of other Asian Americans.
Followed by Q&A with the filmmaker.
