Made in China film screening to benefit the Sichuan, China earthquake victims. In this personal documentary, John Helde uncovers his father’s experience growing up an American boy in pre-World War II China and discovers a community of other Americans with similar childhoods.

The May 12 earthquake is one of the largest humanitarian disasters to hit China in the last 30 years. Nearly 70,000 people have died, and over five million are still homeless. “This has been a terrible tragedy for China, and aftershocks and the threat of flooding and disease still pose a huge danger,” Helde said. “Having filmed in Chengdu and rural Sichuan, and with my family’s past in that area, I feel a deep tie to Sichuan and I’m very pleased to be able to partner with Northwest Film Forum and Mercy Corps to raise funds to provide some further help to people who are now homeless and suffering as a result of this disaster.”
