A Journey Through Angel Island with Felicia Lowe

After a screening of two films we’ll open the floor to Q&A with director Felicia Lowe

* Thursday, March 23, 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm

Angel Island: We’ve all heard of it, but do we really know it? Join director Felicia Lowe as she takes us on a visual journey through Angel Island’s history. Lowe’s documentaries, A Journey Through Angel Island and Carved in Silence, tell the story of her family and many others like it as they came to America seeking something better. After a screening of these two films we’ll open the floor to Q&A with Felicia.

Mill Valley resident, Felicia Lowe is an award winning independent media producer, director, and writer with 40+ years of production experience. Her documentaries; Chinese Couplets, Carved in Silence, Chinatown and China: Land of My Father reveal the unique experiences of Chinese in America while underscoring our common humanity.

Lowe recently produced the animated video, A Journey Through Angel Island and led the creative team that produced 17 videos for the California Museum exhibit, Gold Mountain: Chinese Californian Stories.

In September, 2022, Lowe was recognized by the Chinese American Museum of Los Angeles as a History Maker and presented with the Societal Transformation Award for her body of work.

A past board president of the Angel Island Immigration Foundation and descendant of Angel Island detainees, she is gratified to play a role in the preservation and restoration of this important National Historic Landmark.
