4:00 PM - 6:00 PM | Feature Film: Mayor Ed Lee | Short Film: Zoetic

Feature Film: Mayor Ed Lee is a new documentary film about the late San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee — the first Asian American mayor of a major US city. The hour-long film presents the inspirational, humorous, and emotional story of this remarkable man and community leader, who passed away suddenly while in office. Watch the film and learn how Ed Lee — a son of immigrants, a pro bono lawyer-activist for tenants and garment workers, a habitual punster, and a reluctant politician — became a history-making civic leader.

Feature Short:  Zoetic is a coming of age story about a single, 60-year-old Chinese immigrant mother who, for the first time ever, is challenged to finally think of her own wants and needs. She reluctantly agrees to navigate the world of online dating apps with the help of her daughter. Through the experience, mother and daughter begin to break through the unyielding, yet all too familiar emotional wall quarantining Asian parent from child.
