Events › She Marches in Chinatown: a Documentary

See the local documentary that is winning awards in film festivals all over the world!

In 1952, Asian American girls had no extra-curricular activities until Ruby Chow created the Seattle Chinese Community Girls Drill Team, the only one of its kind in the world – combining traditional Chinese opera costumes with American military style drills. Despite gentrification, Title IX, and a global pandemic, 70 years later the drill team continues to define, represent and celebrate the evolving Asian American experience of its dedicated multigenerational participants.

The 33-minute film will be followed by Q & A with the film’s director, Della Chen. Please see https://www.chenaniganfilms.com/ for more information.

Presented in partnership with the City of Mountlake Terrace and the DEI commission.
