TEA & JUSTICE

Excellent documentary. Very insightful. Addresses poignant social-political issues, from racism to sexism to under-representation and misrepresentation of women in the media. Introduces the audience to the injustice towards minorities in places such as NYPD. Offers up great talking points about equality and police abuse. Anyone who has ever been treated unjustly can relate to this film. Great street shots of NYC. Love how the director inserts herself into the film using an animated character.

Committed to creating a bridge between the Asian community and police, 20-year-old college student Agnes Chan, daughter of a Chinatown seamstress, became NYPD's first Asian woman officer in 1980. Rookie Officer Christine Leung was insulted by a middle-aged Caucasian woman slanderous comments about her. Trish Ormsby worked for a Japanese Wall Street firm, serving served tea to her male bosses. She quit in disgust and became a cop. Filmmaker Ermena Vinluan, intrigued by the image of Asian women in non-traditional careers, explores the challenges these women embraced and accomplished. Interviews with anti-police-abuse activists, believing that women cops tend to be less abusive add to this complex look at race, gender and power.
