Dock-u-mentaries: Seadrift @ ZOOM
Aug 21 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Dock-u-mentaries: Seadrift @ ZOOM

Save the date for our August Dock-u-mentaries film, Seadrift. Following the virtual screening on ZOOM, we will be joined by filmmaker Tim Tsai for a discussion of the film. Click here to join the ZOOM Meeting.

If you are interested in watching the film but cannot make the virtual screening, please contact Hannah at programs@fishingheritagecenter.org.

In 1979, a Vietnamese refugee shoots and kills a white crab fisherman at the public town docks in Seadrift, TX. What began as a dispute over fishing territory erupts into violence and ignites a maelstrom of boat burnings, KKK intimidation, and other hostilities against Vietnamese refugees along the Gulf Coast. Set during the early days of Vietnamese arrival in the U.S., Seadrift is a feature documentary that examines the circumstances that led up to the shooting and its dramatic aftermath, and reveals the unexpected consequences that continue to reverberate today. Click here to watch the trailer for Seadrift.

Thank you to BankFive for supporting our film series.
