The Honolulu Advertiser reports that the Asian American Journalists Association will show two Asian American films at their convention in Honolulu:

On June 24, the documentaries "Slanted Screen" and "An Untold Triumph" will be shown in the O'ahu and Waialua rooms of the Sheraton from noon to 3 p.m.

"Slanted Screen," a one-hour documentary, shows the portrayal of Asian men on the big screen. "An Untold Triumph" tells the story of 7,000 Filipino immigrants who sought the chance to serve in the U.S. Army during World War II.

The showing provides the opportunity to "recognize the contributions of the Filipino-American soldiers who fought in World War II, something that is maybe not as well-known as should be," Gima said.

The convention, to be held June 21 to 24 at the Sheraton Waikiki, will bring together more than 1,200 journalists and media professionals from across the country.
