Title
Protestors at Premiere of Rising Sun in Times Square
Description
A person holds a sign that reads “Stop the Burn, Eclipse the Sun, We Are Still Recovering From the Last A-Bomb” while another individual holds a sign whose entirety is cut from view but begins with “Can We All Get…” There is a cameraman in the background and protestors are smiling.
The demonstrators were protesting in Times Square against the premiere of Rising Sun, a film widely scrutinized by CAAAV and other political organizations for its xenophobic and racist portrayals of Asians, namely the Japanese. This protest took place on July 30, 1993.
