ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
RI PBS is set to capture a segment of a documentary focused on Donna Weng-Friedman, highlighting her acclaimed short film "Never Fade Away." The film delves into her father's journey escaping Japanese-occupied China and his subsequent challenges in New York City. It also explores the profound impact a piece of music had on Donna and her parents years later. As part of the AAPI Heritage month celebration, the documentary will include a thematic discussion intertwining the film's narrative with the ongoing exhibition "Second Time Around." This discussion will emphasize the significance of revisiting objects and artistic expressions as a means to deepen one's understanding of cultural heritage and forge connections with ancestors.
