Join us in the Cordingley Room to watch To Climb a Gold Mountain directed by Dr. Alex Azmi. The film tells the stories of four women of Asian descent who lived in America from the 1850s to the present day. The women came from different backgrounds and lived dramatically different lives. Some of the women featured in the film, such as Anna May Wong, have reach success and fame. Still others, like Sing Ye, who lived in the 1800s and fought for freedom are all but forgotten. Dr. Azmi will be calling in via Zoom to do a Q&A session after the film. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity!

Each woman’s story represents a distinct theme of struggle and triumph, and ushers in the succeeding story leading up to the present time. Through these stories, the film tracks the progression, evolution and legacy of the immigrants in America as they integrate into the fabric of America. 

Water and popcorn will be available. Doors open at 5:30 pm, movie starts at 6.
