Title

Demonstrators March in Front of Criterion Theater to Protest Premiere of Rising Sun

Description

A large group of protestors is pictured marching in front of the Criterion theater in Times Square. In the background there is a partial view of a CAAAV banner, and the theater promotes the film Rising Sun in large, capitalized letters.

The protestors were there to demonstrate against the premiere of Rising Sun, a film widely scrutinized by CAAAV and other political organizations for its link between economic scapegoating and racism and its xenophobic portrayal of Asians.
