Photographic Justice: The Corky Lee Story - AAPI Month Documentary Screening at GN Library

To celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, the Great Neck Library is hosting a special screening of the documentary Photographic Justice: The Corky Lee Story. This 87-minute film chronicles the 50-year quest of photographer Corky Lee to document Asian American history and activism.

Corky Lee didn’t just take pictures; he fought for visibility. Armed with his camera as a "weapon against injustice," the legendary Chinese American photographer spent decades documenting the Asian American experience. This intimate film explores the life of a man whose art became his activism, capturing the triumphs, tragedies, and unforgettable images that empowered generations.

After the film, Jennifer Takaki (Director), George Hirose (Executive Producer), and Linda Lew Woo (Producer) will hold a Q&A discussion.

The movie screening will be at the Great Neck Library, 159 Bayview Avenue, Great Neck, on Sunday May 17, at 2:00 p.m. Registration is open to all. For more information, please call Great Neck Library at (516) 466-8055 or email adultprogramming@greatnecklibrary.org.
