Yellowface: Asian Whitewashing and Racism in Hollywood -Trailer

Until today, whitewashing was a racist tradition in Hollywood. As was “blackface”, the “yellowface” was used in Hollywood as a propaganda tool and manifestation of racism. The attack on Pearl Harbor on the 7th of December 1941 changed the world forever. The United States entered WWII. Hollywood was quick to react with films from Know Your Enemy to Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips. With the arrival of the Cold War the enemy image had to change quickly, and Hollywood obliged. YELLOWFACE takes us on a journey of Asian representation on screen from Cecille B. Demille’s The Cheat to the defining moment and celebration of the critical and box office hit, Crazy Rich Asians. Starring Dan Akira, Joseph McBride, Tamlyn Tomita
