剧情介绍
Tea & Justice -- an award-winning film on NYPD's first Asian women cops -- is screening at La Femme Film Festival in Beverly Hills on October 17th. It is also an Official Selection at the Houston Asian Pacific Islander Film Festival on October 12th. The film won Third Prize for Best Documentary (ages 13-18 category) at the Kids First! Film Festival, Hollywood.
Tea & Justice, a documentary about three petite immigrant Asian women defying stereotypes in the New York Police Department (NYPD) will screen at La Femme Film Festival on Friday, October 17, 2008, 10:00 am at the Fine Arts Theatre, 8556 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, CA. Director/Producer Ermena Vinluan will be present.
"The festival screens films for a world audience," said Leslie Lapage, Founder & Executive Director of La Femme. "Last year, over 10,000 attended, celebrating films made by women - for everyone."
Tea & Justice is about three petite Asian immigrant women who help change the face of the NYPD - and its soul. Vinluan made the film because she was intrigued by the image of Asian women in such a non-traditional career. The filmmaker also explores her activist ideas and mixed feelings about cops, while honoring the challenges the women embraced and reforms they accomplished.
Hollywood Reporter called the film "thoughtful and provocative." Tea & Justice was described as "…a heartfelt documentary…delightful" (Rocky Chin, Esq., NY State Civil Rights Commission); and "…bold, sensitive, passionate, analytical and iconoclastic," (Prof. Estella Habal, Asian Studies at San Jose State University).
About the Film:
Agnes Chan, a 20-year-old college student and Chinatown garment factory worker became NYPD's first Asian female officer in 1980. Chan was committed to creating a bridge between the police and the poorly-served Asian community. Her Police Academy graduation was memorialized by a photo in the New York Daily News. A native of Hong Kong, many of Chan's colleagues and superiors assumed she was under-qualified, hired merely to fulfill NYPD hiring quotas for women and minorities. They were amazed to learn she had scored 98% on her entrance exam. Chan was a co-founder of the Asian Jade Society, the advocacy and support organization of NYPD Asian officers.
Christine Leung was born in Hong Kong. Both her parents were restaurant workers as well strict traditionalists who fought her assimilation as an American teenager growing up in Queens. Leung was a student at NYU and a Wall Street secretary before becoming a cop. Early in her career, she was shocked when a middle-age Caucasian woman told her, "I'm paying taxes for a little shit like you!" Leung worked in narcotics, community affairs and on the elite Major Case Squad on kidnappings. She also led NYPD sensitivity training classes on race and culture.
Trish Ormsby was born in Japan to a Japanese mother and Irish-American father. After her father's death, her mother remarried a Japanese man and Trish was raised in Brooklyn in a traditional household. She was a Wall Street secretary but quit in disgust when ordered to serve tea to her male Japanese bosses. Ormsby loved Cagney and Lacey, the 1980s hit TV show about NYPD women detectives and was inspired by her Irish uncle, a police officer. Ormsby is 5'2". Her mother argued, "You're not going t
