The 27th San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival is starting this week, from March 12th to the 22nd, and the San Francisco Chronicle does a preview and reviews some of films; I have attended the film festival almost every year I’ve lived in the Bay Area and the films have been fantastic overall.

I’ve already been to a sneak preview of Patsy Mink: Ahead of the Majority about former Congresswoman Patsy Mink, the first woman of color to ever be elected to Congress and co-authored Title IX. If anyone is interested in politics and the topic of Asian Americans running for public office, I highly recommend you to see this film — I was overwhelmed and inspired by her efforts to overcome societal gender and ethnic barriers.

Thanks for rating this! Now tell the world how you feel - .
(Nah, it's cool; just take me back.)
