Q&A with ‘Sight’ actor Terry Chen and memoirist Ming Wang
May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Last year, The Dartmouth published a list of Asian American television shows and movies to watch. This year, The Dartmouth had the opportunity to speak to two people who were involved in the production of an upcoming Asian American film, “Sight” — based on the memoir “From Darkness to Sight: A Journey from Hardship to Healing” by Chinese American doctor Ming Wang. Out on May 24, the movie follows the real story of Wang on his journey to becoming a renowned eye surgeon — a journey that took him from China during the Cultural Revolution to Tennessee, where he created the Wang Foundation for Sight Restoration. The Foundation helps provide patients with sight restoration surgeries free of charge.
