Sobre este episodio
Welcome back to our live broadcast from the SFFilm Festival's filmmakers lounge! In this final SFFilm Fest episode, Erin sits down with director Rooth Tang and producer Michelle Moy to discuss their documentary film Rally, about San Francisco political kingmaker Rose Pak. If you're not from or live in the City, you may be asking yourself who's Rose Pak, and why should I care? Well, Rose was an interesting character - immigrant to the states, started out as a journalist for the San Francisco Chronicle, then turned herself into a political powerhouse, activist, and shit disturber. It's a complicated life but an interesting one and director Rooth Tang was a great choice to tell her story. In this live interview, Erin talks to the director and producer about Rooth's invovlement in telling Rose's story (Rooth is from Southern California), how did Rose's story unfold into a full length documentary, and what do they think Rose would think about this film if she was still alive. As San Franciscan's and AAPI Americans, we have a complicated relationship with Rose Pak, and thankfully there are films like this to shine a light on all of her work that ultimately shows how much of a fighter Rose was for Chinese Americans.
