The Afro Asian Connection is proud to bring you a wealth of Films from the Asian community and African American community, and the alignment of both. This is a great opportunity to bring you to an open forum to talk about the Afro-Asian film and media connection.
Many of you grew up being entertained by the likes of Bruce Lee and Enter the Dragon that came out in the early 70's, and is considered a classic. Mr. Lee is a pioneer of this Afro Asian Connection as evidenced by his training and works with Kareem Abdul Jabbar, the dominant professional basketball player of his era. (see below)
Fast forward to 2008, and this Afro Asian connection is still a prominent component of our society. We now have Chris Tucker teaming with Jackie Chan, who are the driving force behind the very successful "Rush Hour" movie franchise.
