POV, now in its 35th year as America’s longest-running independent documentary series, presents a Special Encore Presentation of the gripping 1988 Academy Award® nominated film, Who Killed Vincent Chin? 

On a hot summer night in Detroit in 1982, Ronald Ebens, an autoworker, killed Vincent Chin, a young Chinese American draftsman with a baseball bat.
