Join us for a free one-day workshop for educators at the Japanese American National Museum, hosted by the USC U.S.-China Institute and the National Consortium for Teaching about Asia. This workshop will include a guided tour of the beloved exhibition Common Ground: The Heart of Community, slated to close permanently in January 2025. Following the tour, learn strategies for engaging students in the primary source artifacts, images, and documents found in JANM’s vast collection and discover classroom-ready resources to support teaching and learning about the Japanese American experience.
Before the Flood II
The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor will screen Yan Yu's documentary Before the Flood II.
When:
February 19, 2011 7:10pm to 8:10pm
Before the Flood II is a profile of the residents of Gongtan, a 1700-year-old village soon to be demolished by a hydroelectric dam project. Three years after Before the Flood generated global criticism towards the Three Gorges Dam Project, Yan Yu achieves intimate access again, this time to the Gongtan villagers as they protest official meetings and face off with construction workers eager to tear down their homes for a day’s pay. Ling Woo Liu of Time Magazine writes in his review, “Yan Yu’s long-term commitment to the subject matter (he has spent the last six years working on these films) shines through in this latest effort to chronicle the human cost of a project that has forced 1.4 million people to relocate”.
