Suffolk University’s Ford Hall Forum, Rosenberg Institute for East Asian Studies, and Communication, Journalism & Media Department present: Join us as we screen Eng’s award-winning documentary My Life in China. "Who am I?" Kenneth Eng once asked himself. He started finding answers by making this documentary about his father's perilous flight from China during the Cultural Revolution to pursue the American Dream. This is a story of how migration is passed down from father to son, and ultimately asks the question, what does it mean to be both Chinese and American? The screening will be followed by a discussion with Eng and will be moderated by Micky Lee, PhD, associate professor, Communication, Journalism & Media Department, Suffolk University.
