Oldest Asian American film included into the National Film Registry

The Oath of the Sword,  the oldest Asian American film, has been included into the US National Film Registry. Produced in 1914, it is the story of a Japanese couple separated when the man goes to study at UC Berkeley. Studying at UC Berkeley?  Definitely very Asian American!

The film was considered lost when it was rediscovered by Northeastern Professor Denise Khor. Notably, UC Berkeley serves as a location in the movie. It doesn’t seem to be available on streaming anywhere, but National Film Registry has the film.
