On Friday, local community organizers were making sure hundreds of Bay Area children had a chance to see 'Easter Sunday' during a special event at the Asian-American-owned Presidio Theatre in San Francisco.
Several community organizations and the theatre owner put on this event, knowing it will make an impact.
“These are role models for kids, like Rocky for me, now Asians are people we look up to,” said Hudson Liao, Founder of the organization"Asians are Strong." “Watching movies is like a two hour vacation, escape from reality.," said Frank Lee, Presidio Theatre owner. The group that saw the special screening said they liked what they saw, family scenes very familiar to many, no matter what ethnicity, but this time it was families who looked like them."Easter Sunday" was produced by Steven Spielberg and is distributed by Universal Pictures, which is owned by NBC Bay Area parent company Comcast.
