Golden Venture Documentary

A compelling and timely portrait of human courage, resilience, and compassion, set against a backdrop of bigotry, fear, and political infighting, this is recommended.”
— Video Librarian

Dear Friends,

On campuses throughout America, faculty and students are trying to make sense out of the bitterly partisan debate about US immigration policy. Golden Venture, a new documentary available via New Day Films, is a valuable resource to inform that campus discourse.

Golden Venture tells the epic story of the 1993 grounding of the freighter Golden Venture off New York City. Almost 300 Chinese immigrants were aboard. The deaths, detentions and deportations that followed marked a crucial turning point in US immigration policy.

Now the film comes with a powerful new set of resources, including a library of classified documents from the White House, the NSC, INS and other agencies that dramatically illuminate the high level politics behind the Golden Venture crackdown.

Three hundred universities and colleges have already added the film to their collections. To put the film into your catalog, you can now purchase Golden Venture with a 10 percent reduction in price (good through Nov. 15) by calling 888.367.9154 and using promotional code PTSH3R.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

Sincerely Yours,

Peter Cohn
Director/Producer
