A documentary explores the career of photographer Corky Lee who turned his lens to the Asian Americans who are so often left out of history.
Lee, who described himself as “the undisputed, unofficial Asian American Photographer Laureate,” dedicated his lens to these overlooked immigrant communities in the U.S. The new documentary delves into the lasting impact of Lee’s work.“He had the knowledge of American history and the insight of a community organizer, so he could offer insight into a community that he was personally involved with, but also documented in a way to show that they were larger pieces missing from American history.
Lee’s approach to his craft as a photographer was to always show up with his camera during his 45-year-long career. He made a point of being at as many Asian American events as he possibly could, no matter how big or how small — everything from Lunar New Year parades to countless protests and demonstrations that showed the full force of these often ignored and overlooked communities.
