FABULOUS NEWS TO SHARE
BOLINAO 52 "swept' the Emmys on Saturday evening 5/16/09 winning:
1) Outstanding Achievement in Documentary to Duc Nguyen
2) Outstanding Music Composition to Mark Izu
In his acceptance speech, Duc dedicated the award to his mentor and the "Mother Asian American Film" Loni Ding, Prof. of Ethnic Studies @ UC-Berkeley, who is recovery from a severe stroke, since last we saw her at our home for POTLUCK & A DOC, in April. (Please send healing love to Loni for her speedy and full recovery!)
We also dedicate this award to the 2.0 million Vietnamese Boat People around the world who remind us of the 'high price' of freedom'.
Last but NOT LEAST, you have a few more opportunities to catch the B52 on PBS stations during ASIAN HERITAGE MONTH of May:
