Though a single program to encompass five decades of a filmic career is a drop in a bucket, spotlighting her LA based work, Visual Communications honors her memory with a May Day screening of Sa-I-Gu (1993), her urgent, yet intimate portrayal of Korean American women following the 1992 LA Uprising in Koreatown. This screening will be followed by a conversation regarding Christine’s lasting impact and legacy.
In this program
SA-I-GU
Directed by Christine Choy, Dai Sil Kim-Gibson, Elaine H. Kim
Violence, arson and looting erupted in South Central Los Angeles, sparked by the acquittal of the four policemen who had beaten an African American, Rodney King. Sa-I-Gu, literally April 29, presents this Los Angeles crisis from the perspectives of Korean women shopkeepers and offers an alternative to mainstream media’s inability or refusal to present the voices of victims in human terms but make them issues and numbers.
