Join Think!Chinatown and author Katie Gee Salisbury for a screening of Daughter of Shanghai (1937) starring Anna May Wong and Philip Ahn. Salisbury, who recently published a biography of Wong called Not Your China Doll, will speak about the film’s groundbreaking casting—it was the first time two Asian American actors played a leading romantic couple in the sound era—and how Wong’s real-life experiences inspired the story. Community discussion will follow the screening.
