Lakeshore update: Library to show work by Two Rivers filmmaker

Library to show work by Two Rivers filmmaker

MANITOWOC — The Manitowoc Public Library will offer a screening of "My Way Home" by Two Rivers filmmaker Dao Chang at 6 p.m. Monday in the Balkansky Community Room on the second floor of the library, 707 Quay St. Chang, a Hmong-American, will present her award-winning film and discuss her journey to discover her Hmong roots. Born in Laos but raised in Two Rivers, Chang sought answers to questions about her family, the war and her cultural identity. She could not find those answers here, so she traveled halfway around the world to the country her family was forced to flee two decades earlier.

"My Way Home" was produced by docUWM, a documentary media center at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Chang created the film with fellow students Jessamy Meyer, Joe Sacco and Meg Strobel.

The film, in English and Hmong with English subtitles, is the winner of the Golden Badger for Student Filmmaking at the 2010 Wisconsin Film Festival. It is the first in the library's Cultural Conversations series of programs. For information, call (920) 686-3036 or e-mail rmyoung@manitowoc.org.
