Many Philippine migration stories, here in Colorado and across the nation, are linked to the thousands of Filipino and Filipino American soldiers who went to war to defend the United States and the Philippines during World War II. In an honest and heartfelt directorial debut, TS Botkin follows Filipino American veterans as they emotionally trace their paths from war to erasure by the U.S. Government, marching from an obscured history to the Federal courts, right up to the steps of Congress in search of promises denied.
We invite you to remain after the live screening for a Q&A with the film’s director and community partners, followed by a reception with food and beverages. Seating is limited so get your tickets early to reserve your spot!
