In correlation with the exhibition, Speaking Up! Confronting Hate Speech, join us for a special film screening of the documentary, “Seadrift,” followed by a panel discussion with producer/director Tim Tsai and Dr. Anhlan Nguyen.
In 1979, a Vietnamese refugee shoots and kills a white crab fisherman at the public town docks in Seadrift, TX. What began as a dispute over fishing territory erupts into violence and ignites a maelstrom of boat burnings, KKK intimidation, and other hostilities against Vietnamese refugees along the Gulf Coast.
Set during the early days of Vietnamese arrival in the U.S., “Seadrift” is a feature documentary that examines the circumstances that led up to the shooting and its dramatic aftermath and reveals the unexpected consequences that continue to reverberate today.
The event will be hosted in person. Admission is free and open to the public.
Please note: In consideration of the health and safety of our event guests and museum staff, HMH will require all event guests to provide proof of full COVID-19 vaccination (including a booster shot) by presenting a vaccination card/photo or a negative test within the last 72 hours of event.
