Immigration Film Festival October 16th

 The Six, about the Chinese survivors of the Titanic

From Grant Din:

I was lucky to be part of a team of researchers from China, Canada, New York, London, the Midwest, and here in the SF Bay Area searching for the stories of the six Chinese survivors of the wreck of the Titanic (out of eight who set sail). They were seamen, on their way to work on other White Star Line ships in the boiler rooms. We found information on ship manifests, in US Citizenship and Immigration Services and other archives, and many other places to help learn what happened to them.


The Six will be making its US premiere on October 16 at the Immigration Film Festival in Washington, DC. It'll be a hybrid event, so you can attend and meet the filmmakers if you go in person, or attend for free (donations encouraged!) online. It's part of a program called "Reckoning With History: Stop Asian Hate," and will run from 2:45 - 5:30 Eastern time. To register, click here and scroll down to October 16.
Here's a new review as part of a run-up to the North American premiere at the Vancouver International Film Festival.

If you can't watch on October 16, the film is also going to be streamed through the Friday Harbor Film Festival from the 17th to the 24th: https://www.fhff.org/film-guide.
