| Description: | Thursday, February 23
7:00 p.m.
Wang Theater
This film focuses on the ambiguous role forced upon Chinese scientists and engineers who have contributed significantly to American military research while still remaining largely invisible, except when singled out for disloyalty, as in the recent case of Wen Ho Lee, or the 1950's McCarthy Era case of Tsien Hsueh-sun.
It explores the pervasive American perception of China in either/or terms: either a sinister threat or a potential partner, and explores how these attitudes have led to a wariness about Chinese involvement in U.S. military technology.
Introduction to film by and Q&A with award-winning director Christine Choy and SBU's own Dr. Barry McCoy, Distinguished Professor of Physics.
Choy was nominated for an Academy Award for her film, 'Who Killed Vincent Chin?' |
