Film Screening and Panel Discussion—"To Climb a Gold Mountain"
In honor of Women’s History Month, JANM presents To Climb a Gold Mountain (2015), a documentary that tells the story of Los Angeles through the eyes of four immigrant Chinese women.
Covering a span of 160 years, each woman featured in the film faced a different set of challenges, fighting in her own unique way to make a difference. Included are Anna May Wong, a groundbreaking actress who achieved success and fame, and Sing Ye, a little-known prostitute who lived in the 1800s and fought for freedom.
A thought-provoking film, To Climb a Gold Mountain seeks to address contemporary issues of immigration, violence against women, and cross-cultural relations by reflecting on the struggles of the past. Panel discussion with the filmmakers to follow the screening.
