To commemorate Filipino American History Month, the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Program presents a screening of the film Amigo<\/em> and a conversation with the director: the critically acclaimed and Oscar-nominated John Sayles.<\/p>\n

Amigo<\/em><\/a>, the 17th feature film from Sayles, provides an optic on the easily forgotten history of the Philippine-American War, a short lived but brutal war that claimed the lives of about 4,000 Americans and between 200,000 to 600,000 Filipinos. Amigo<\/em> stars legendary Filipino actor Joel Torre as Rafael, a village mayor caught in the crossfire of the war, and Academy-Award winner, Chris Cooper, as U.S. Colonel Hardacre. Filipino American scholar Theo Gonzalves, a professor of American Studies at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, will moderate the conversation with Sayles.<\/p>\n
