The Mountlake Terrace Library is hosting a screening of the award-winning documentary, She Marches in Chinatown, at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 11.
In 1952, Asian American girls had no extracurricular activities until Ruby Chow created the Seattle Chinese Community Girls Drill Team, the only one of its kind in the world – combining traditional Chinese opera costumes with American military style drills. Despite gentrification, Title IX and a global pandemic, 70 years later the drill team continues to define, represent and celebrate the evolving Asian American experience of its dedicated multigenerational participants.
This 33-minute video will be followed by a Q&A session with the film’s director, Della Chen.
The event is presented in partnership with the City of Mountlake Terrace and the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accesibility Commission.
The full event description and registration is here. See www.chenaniganfilms.com for more information.
