SCHEDULE

Movies at the Central Library - 2:30 p.m. to 3:50 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 18 at the Central Library, 1000 Fourth Ave., Level 4, Howard S. Wright Family & Janet W. Ketcham Meeting Room 2, 206-386-4636. Join us for a screening of "Finding Kukan" (2016). "Kukan" was a landmark color film that revealed the atrocities of World War II China to audiences around the world. It was the first-ever American feature documentary to receive an Academy Award in 1942 and was considered lost for decades. When filmmaker Robin Lung discovers a badly damaged film print of "Kukan," she pieces together the inspirational tale of the two renegades behind the making of it — Chinese-American playwright Li Ling-Ai and cameraman Rey Scott.
