SCREENING: The Grace Lee Project
Saturday, March 10th, 2009 (2:00 PM- 6:00PM)
Sponsored by SAHELI & VACAT with support from CAAS
When Korean American filmmaker Grace Lee was growing up in Missouri, she was the only Grace Lee she knew. Once she left the Midwest, however, everyone she met seemed to know "another Grace Lee." But why did they assume that all Grace Lees were reserved, dutiful, piano-playing overachievers? The filmmaker plunges into a funny, highly unscientific investigation into all those Grace Lees who break the mold -- from a fiery social activist to a rebel who tried to burn down her high school. With wit and charm, The Grace Lee Project puts a hilarious spin on the eternal question, "What's in a name?"
Featured Speaker: Nhi Lieu, Ph.D. American Studies & Asian American Studies, University of Texas at Austin.
Location: University of Texas campus at Calhoun Hall (CAL 100)
