CHSA Film Screening: Ten Times Better

The Chinese Historical Society of America (CHSA) is proud to present this very special screening of Ten Times Better in San Francisco Chinatown. Due to popular demand, CHSA is adding this second screening of the documentary Ten Times Better.

Ten Times Better spotlights the life of George Lee, an 88-year-old blackjack dealer in Las Vegas who holds an unheralded place in ballet and Broadway history. As a teenage refugee from Shanghai, he originated the "Tea" dance in George Balanchine's 1954 premiere of The Nutcracker, before Gene Kelly convinced him to join the cast of Flower Drum Song. The film is a tale of talent and perseverance in the face of hardship, and a reminder of the extraordinary stories behind the nameless faces all around us.

This one-of-a-kind presentation includes a film screening and very special meet-and-greet session with director Jennifer Lin. Complimentary dim sum and refreshments and access to museum exhibits are included with admission.

ADMISSION: $20 / $15 for CHSA members
