Justice for vincent | Lawrence Chau

Based on a true story, Justice For Vincent (JFV) re-tells the brutal beating of Chinese American Vincent Chin by two disgruntled auto workers, who mistook Chin for being Japanese during the so-called "Japanese Auto Invasion" in Detroit 1982. The tragedy of Chin's murder and the travesty of the justice system, which saw the murderers walk away with a mere $3000 fine, cut deep into the traditionally quiet Chinese community and sparked the first Pan-Asian civil rights movement in America. JFV has garnered the support of real life activists Helen Zia, Stewart Koh and Corky Lee, who have lent their archival images to the film. Since its release in Oct 2018, JFV has averaged one festival a month, winning 6 awards along the way.
