Directed by Jennifer Takaki, the film centers on Chinese American photographer and New Yorker Corky Lee who, “for 50 years…documented the celebrations, struggles, and daily lives of Asian American Pacific Islanders with epic focus. Determined to push mainstream media to include AAPI culture in the visual record of American history, Lee produced an astonishing archive of nearly a million compelling photographs. Jennifer Takaki’s intimate portrait reveals the triumphs and tragedies of the man behind the lens.”
