A limited television series based on the 1982 murder of Chinese American Vincent Chin is in the works from renowned author and activist Helen Zia.
Untold story: The award-winning writer is set to develop the series to shed light on the history behind the hate crime and the landmark case that sparked the Asian American activism that exists today, the Center for Asian American Media announced last Monday.
Chin was brutally clubbed to death with a baseball bat by two unemployed former autoworkers in Detroit amid a national recession in 1982.
The men were reportedly blaming the Japanese for the struggling U.S. auto industry and vented their anger on the Asian American man.
