THIRD WORLD NEWSREEL EVENING SEMINARS CONTINUE with
ANNE DEL CASTILLO, FERNANDO RAMIREZ, AND MORE

Third World Newsreel is pleased to announce our Fall Evening Seminars. Our first virtual seminars featured a conversation with pioneer indie filmmaker Ayoka Chenzira (now on Vimeo), a talk with Emmy-nominated editor Carla Gutierrez, and a celebration of Iris Morales' documentary film on the Young Lords ¡Palante Siempre Palante! (1996).
This month we continue with NYC's Media & Entertainment Commissioner Anne del Castillo, lawyer Fernando Ramirez, and the 20th anniversary of Amy Chen's groundbreaking documentary on the damaging legacy of Cold War McCarthyism on Chinese American communities The Chinatown Files (2001).
