CHCP/MFM Speaker Series: "Chinese Americans in the Forgotten War: China-Burma-India WWII Operations"

Join CHCP at Moffett Field Museum (MFM) on April 18 for a presentation on "Chinese Americans in the Forgotten War: China-Burma-India World War II Operations."

CHCP will be screening their WWII China-Burma-India (CBI) documentary, Our Story of War and Remembrance: Chinese American WWII Veterans of the China-Burma-India Theatre. Through oral interviews of surviving WWII veterans and their family members, the CHCP film project team of both SDCAP students and adults tells the stories of four Bay Area Chinese American WWII veterans of the Fourteenth Air Force, successor to the Flying Tigers, in a moving documentary of patriotism as they served to defend the America that had denied them rights under the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.

A live mic will feature WWII veterans and/or family members, a CBI historian, and a survivor of the Japanese invasion of a village in Southern China during WWII.

Also, CHCP will have their set of WWII CBI Banners for viewing. The complete set of 8 banners tells the story of the contributions of our patriotic Chinese American WWII veterans in the CBI theatre of war.
