Film Screening and Discussion—"K-TOWN ’92 Reporters: Who Gets to Tell the Story?"

K-TOWN ’92 Reporters was produced by Peabody award-winning filmmaker Grace Lee as part of ktown92.com, an interactive web archive that explores the 1992 Los Angeles Riots through the lens of greater Koreatown. With a mix of archival news footage, new interviews, and other media, ktown92.com invites users to create their own unique documentary experience and to hear poignant stories that were overlooked by the media coverage of the day.

Join us for a screening of Lee’s film followed by a panel discussion with the filmmaker; John Lee, former Los Angeles Times reporter; Victoria Kim, Los Angeles Times reporter; and Joanne Griffith, senior editor at Marketplace Weekend. Moderated by Oliver Wang, Associate Professor of Sociology, California State University, Long Beach.

RSVP required at ktown92.eventbrite.com.

Co-presented with Asian American Journalist Association-Los Angeles and PBS SoCal.
