For over fifty years, New York native Corky Lee photographed his hometown's Chinatown, and Asian American communities around the country. With a strong sense of social justice, he captured activists, celebrities, and everyday heroes with equal passion, taking over a hundred thousand photos. Sadly, while documenting the latest rise of anti-Asian hate crimes, Corky fell to COVID. Through his own words and pictures, Dear Corky reveals the man behind the camera.
The screening will be followed by a conversation between the film’s director, Curtis Chin, and The Chinatown Project (TCP), a grassroots organization dedicated to the documentation and preservation of Boston Chinatown's people, history, businesses, and organizations through visual media.
