NYC PREMIERE

Screening exactly a year to the day that a landmark US Supreme Court ruling dismantled key aspects of affirmative action in higher education, filmmakers Hao Wu and Miao Wang examine the factors that led to the high-stakes lawsuit filed by Asian American plaintiffs against Harvard University, and the wide-ranging fallout from the decision.

The screening will be followed by an on-stage conversation with filmmaker Miao Wang and executive producer Amanda Spain.
