Detroit, 1982: Chinese-American engineer Vincent Chin is beaten to death by two white auto workers who, despite confessing to the crime, go free. Shining a light on anti-Asian racism in America, this wrenching, Academy Award-nominated documentary examines the case from all sides, touching on everything from the history of Chinese immigration to Detroit’s socioeconomic struggles to the failings of the justice system.
