*‘Imported from China’ premieres Sept. 16*
“Imported from China,” a half-hour documentary created by a team of
journalism and communication arts students led by Academic Specialist Troy
Hale and Associate Professor of Journalism Geri Alumit Zeldes premieres
Monday, Sept. 16, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Communication Arts & Sciences
building, Room 145.
The documentary follows several Chinese international students as they
navigate college life at MSU and within the United States. The film
demonstrates how relationships are nurtured and shaped across cultural
boundaries.
“Imported from China” also is a snapshot of the largest demographic shift
in the university's history. In 2006, only 96 undergraduate students at MSU
were from China. This fall, the numbers were expected to soar to more than
4,000, or 13 percent of the undergraduate population, which means that one
out of eight MSU undergrads will be from China.
MSU is not alone. Colleges and universities throughout the country are
seeing an influx of students from China. Of the top 20 universities with
the largest number of Chinese international students, eight are from the
Big Ten.
“The film captures a change in our ecosystem that is causing small and big
adjustments,” Zeldes said. “The documentary covers just some of these
transformations, but it’s a good snapshot of this ongoing breaking story.”
Following the film, there will be a panel discussion made up of sources
featured in the documentary.
Both Zeldes and Hale have received numerous honors and awards for their
work.
Zeldes, who received her Ph.D. in mass communication from CAS, recently was
awarded an Emmy in the Documentary – Cultural category for her film, “U.S.
v. Narcisco, Perez & the Press.” The documentary focuses on the story of
two Filipina nurses convicted (and eventually released) for poisoning
patients at the Veteran’s Administration Hospital in Ann Arbor, Mich.
Zeldes also has received seven best paper awards from the Association for
Journalism and Mass Communication, Broadcast Education Association and the
International Communication Association.
Hale is a 19-time Emmy Award winner and has been nominated more than 40
times for his work as a television journalist. He has won 10 Telly Awards,
two Broadcast Education Association Awards, one Addy, one Michigan
Association of Broadcasters Award and one CINE Golden Eagle Award.
