Through her story\, we learn ho w the incarceration system is pitted against Asian migrant women and thei r survival. Other RCS members\, including Khokhoi\, a young body worker\, and Professor Elena Shih\, Brown University\, share powerful insights th at debunk the myths of sex trafficking. \n\n"Fly in Power" is a glimpse i nto the intimate spaces that not only connect these workers\, but is also a testament to the global advocacy of women's rights to work and thrive. This is the first film to center the narrative of an Asian massage worke r in her own words\, with her own agency of storytelling and editing. The intention of "Fly in Power" is to honor their practices of care\, autono my\, and survival and to raise awareness of the oppressive systems that f ace us all.\n\nThis film has been produced entirely by women\, non-binary \, trans and queers of the Asian diaspora. More than half of the producti on team are former or current sex workers.\n\nThe screening will be follo wed by a Q&A with members of Red Canary Song\, a grassroots organization of Asian and Migrant sex workers and massage workers\, organizing transna tionally.

Her wor k came to a halt in 2006 with the completion of the Saemangeum seawall\, the world's longest man-made dyke and the first component of a massive la nd reclamation effort.\n\nTen years later\, Hwang moved to Gunsan and lea rned about the Saemangeum Citizens Ecological Group\, a local civic organ ization that has conducted ecological surveys in the estuary for over 20 years. Sura\, located in Gunsan\, North Jeolla province\, is the last rem aining tidal flat in the Saemangeum estuary. Hwang was surprised to disco ver the area is teeming with fauna and resumed work on her documentary\, chronicling the beauty of this endangered space.\n\nFrom the director:\nT his film is the story of citizens who do not yield to the violence of the government project and resist by the act of recording. This is also abou t the "memories" of people who cannot forget the beauty. The moment I hea rd the story of a man who can't forget the group dance of the shorebirds\ , the wonder\, the longing\, and sense of loss he must have felt overwhel med me. That's what drove me to make this film for 7 years. In this world where the beauty to remember is gradually disappearing\, we record today \, believing in the power of memories and records.\n\n"This film is a lov e song sung by people who love the beautiful tidal flat. The ending credi ts include the names of various living creatures in Sura\, such as Saunde rs's gulls and little terns. Sura residents in the film include a mother bird protecting her baby in the strong wind. The mother bird's love may b e no different from that of our parents." - Kim Sun-ae\, The Korea Times\ n\nExpert panel:\nImmediately following the film screening\, panelists wi ll discuss the ecological impacts of large-scale development projects:\n\ n Lindsay Addison\, Coastal Biologist\, NC Audubon Society\n Margar et McKean\, Professor Emerita of Political Science\, Duke\n Jieun Cho\ , Postdoctoral Associate\, APSI\n\nmoderated by Professor Hae-Young Kim ( Asian & Middle Eastern Studies\, Duke) DURATION:PT2H30M DTSTAMP:20240402T192617Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240418T190000 LAST-MODIFIED:20240402T192617Z LOCATION;X-BEDEWORK-UID=18832edc-1b287efb-011b-2c15bf12-00000020:Richard W hite Lecture Hall\, Room 107 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Film Screening: "Sura: A Love Song" (2023) UID:CAL-8a0292fd-8d13410f-018e-1a872e19-00002117demobedework@mysite.edu URL:https://asianpacific.duke.edu/event/film-screening-sura-love-song-yun- hwang-2022/ X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Main:/user/public-user/Utili ties/Main X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Movie_Film:/user/public-user /Arts/Movie_Film X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Panel_Seminar_Colloquium:/us er/public-user/Lectures_Conferences/Panel_Seminar_Colloquium X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Asia focus:/user/public-user /Topic of Event Focused on a Country or Continent (if applicable)/Asia fo cus X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Global:/user/public-user/Top ic of Event Focused on a Country or Continent (if applicable)/Global X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Civic Engagement/Social Acti on:/user/public-user/Topics/Civic Engagement_Social Action X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Diversity/Inclusion:/user/pu blic-user/Topics/Diversity_Inclusion X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Ethics:/user/public-user/Top ics/Ethics X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Human Rights:/user/public-us er/Topics/Human Rights X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Humanities:/user/public-user /Topics/Humanities X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Natural Sciences:/user/publi c-user/Topics/Natural Sciences X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Social Sciences:/user/public -user/Topics/Social Sciences X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Sustainability:/user/public- user/Topics/Sustainability X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Politics:/user/public-user/T opics/Politics X-BEDEWORK-SPEAKER:Lindsay Addison (Audubon North Carolina)\, Jieun Cho (A PSI)\, Margaret McKean (Political Science)\; moderated by Hae-Young Kim ( AMES) X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-X1:0 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-Y1:0 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-X2:1059 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-Y2:706 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-CROP-WIDTH:1059 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-CROP-HEIGHT:706 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-ALT-TEXT:Still images captured on a film strip showing pe ople recording and taking measurements in a field\; descriptive text (fil m title\, date\, time\, location\, screening sponsors) X-BEDEWORK-SUBMITTEDBY:rmk33 for Asian Pacific Studies Institute (APSI) (a grp_ArtsandSciences_AsianPacificStudiesInstitute) X-BEDEWORK-CS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DESCRIPTION="/principals/users/agrp_Artsand Sciences_AsianandMiddleEasternStudies,":Asian &\;amp\;amp\;amp\; Middl e Eastern Studies (AMES) X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE:/public/Images/240418_Sura__DC_20240308060241PM.png X-BEDEWORK-THUMB-IMAGE:/public/Images/240418_Sura__DC_20240308060241PM-thu mb.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CATEGORIES:China focus CATEGORIES:Asia focus CATEGORIES:Human Rights CATEGORIES:Civic Engagement/Social Action CATEGORIES:Humanities CATEGORIES:Politics CATEGORIES:Arts CATEGORIES:Lectures/Conferences CATEGORIES:Utilities CATEGORIES:Movie/Film CATEGORIES:Lecture/Talk CATEGORIES:Research CATEGORIES:Main CONTACT;X-BEDEWORK-UID=8a0290b4-860465b2-0186-debfba9d-00003c8d:Asian Paci fic Studies Institute (APSI) CREATED:20240821T183637Z DESCRIPTION:About the film\n\nThis documentary\, directed by Beijing-based writer and filmmaker Xu Xing\, tells the love story of a married couple against the backdrop of political events in China since 1949.\n\nXu Xing aims to use the couple's personal fate to reflect the history of a nation and to preserve a narrative that has been overlooked in the official ver sion of Chinese history.\nAbout the director\n\nXu Xing\, born in 1956 in Beijing\, began his career as a novelist and writer.

The urgency of this task rested on his understa nding of Critical Theory "as a way of keeping the negative alive in a per iod in which praxis\, the unity of the negative and the positive\, itself seems suspended." Over the years\, Critical Theory has received scholarl y and popular attention\; it has simultaneously been pronounced dead and an enduring threat.

First-come\, first-se rved\nFormal talkback session following the film\n\nJoin us in celebratin g the 30th Anniversary of ADF's Screen Dance Festival with a documentary\ , Can You Bring It: Bill T. Jones and D-Man in the Waters. \n\nThe film w ill be followed by a Q&A with director\, ADF alum\, and former member of the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company\, Rosalynde LeBlanc\, Bill T. Jones\ , and two NC educators and former members of the company\, Andrea E. Wood s Valdés\, Chair of Duke Dance Program\, and Janet Lilly\, Professor of D ance at the University of North Carolina\, Greensboro.\n\nCan You Bring I t: Bill T. Jones and D-Man in the Waters brings to life the creative proc ess that culminated in choreographer-dancer-director Bill T. Jones's tour de force ballet D-Man in the Waters\, one of the most important works of art to come out of the AIDS crisis. In 1989\, D-Man in the Waters gave p hysical manifestation to the fear\, anger\, grief\, and hope for salvatio n that the emerging Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company felt as they were em battled by the AIDS epidemic. As a group of young dancers in the present re-interpret the work\, they deepen their understanding of its power-expl oring what is at stake in their own personal lives in order to commit and perform it successfully. Through an extraordinary collage of interviews\ , archival material\, and uniquely powerful cinematography\, this lyrical documentary uses the story of this iconic dance to illustrate the power of art and the triumph of the human spirit. Winner of a 2024 Peabody Awar d!
