  United States. \n\n\n	Mistaken for being Japanese\, Chinese American citi
 zen Chin was bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat days before his weddi
 ng by two auto workers during the so-called “Japanese Auto Invasion” in De
 troit 1982 — a crime that saw the murderers walk free with a mere $3\,000 
 fine and three-year probation. \n\n\n	Archival images of the Chin case fea
 tured in the film were graciously provided by real life activists Helen Zi
 a\, Stewart Koh\, and photojournalist Corky Lee. \n\n\n	Watch the trailer.
