Set in L.A.’s Little Tokyo neighborhood, Samuel Fuller’s L.A. film noir starring James Shigeta is a rare example of progressive-minded depictions of racial relations and portrayals of an Asian-American lead character during this period of film history. This event is moderated by Professor Vivian Lin and will also feature two short films from Visual Communications on life and culture in Little Tokyo.
