It features photographs, negatives, and other artifacts from the documentary to showcase the shifting demographics, experience of immigrant families, and the emerging communities formed.
This event is co-sponsored by the University of Georgia's Wilson Center for Arts and Humanities.
More about the film:
"In 1980, there were a few thousand Asian and Latino immigrants in Georgia. By 1994, there were more than 300,000. Displaced in the New South explores the cultural collision between Asian and Hispanic immigrants and the suburban communities near Atlanta where they settled. Featuring unforgettable people like Suttiwan Cox, ESL teacher and stand-up comic, the film is a moving, sensitive case study of a nationwide trend that is bringing explosive political upheaval all across the country."
