A brutal case of bloodshed, a mother’s loss and a community’s outrage, Justice For Vincent (JFV) is an intensely disturbing yet honest and inspiring modern story about race told from a rarely seen Asian American perspective. The award-winning short film is based on the historic Vincent Chin case that sparked the first Pan-Asian civil rights movement in America.
