for the last two years, i've been working on @bodiesbeneathus, a documentary about hundreds of unmarked graves beneath the rattlesnake neighborhood of missoula, why these people were forgotten, and what happens (and who opposes you) when you try and bring back their memory.
here’s an interview i did with @SavageLevenson where i talk about @bodiesbeneathus, missoula’s historic chinese, the myth of the cowboy, the racism of montana liberals, and the political imperative of creating new myths: bigskychathouse.com/p/paul-kim-rev…

For more than a year I’ve been working on this project to shed some light on and bring some dignity to the unwanted people of Missoula who have been forgotten and had their graves built over. Today we released our first trailer!!

Who gets to decide what is history? Who benefits from that version of history?
Thanks to @BretSerbin for covering our effort to shed light on and memorialize the people we forget!

This comes after years of growing bipartisan anti-Asian racism in Montana, including a recent statement by Sen. Tester (the last remaining MT Democrat in high office) that Chinese cannot be trusted to own land here because they are all agents of the communist party.

The political interests that led to Missoula’s unwanted being forgotten and having their graves built over are still fighting to delay the memorialization effort for them, and trying to avoid responsibility for the violent rhetoric that marginalized them in the first place.

This is a violent attempt to erase Indigenous history and culture. Racists do this because they know that remembering our past makes it impossible to replace that past with a settler-colonial lie.

i'm looking forward to sharing the completed project with you all in early 2024. if you're curious to learn more, you can join us at free cycles for a fundraiser/chat about the movie (':
we're almost finished but we need some cash to master the movie and get us to film festivals. if you can donate, i'd be immensely grateful. our project is fiscally sponsored by the foundation for montana history and all donations are tax deductible: donate.stripe.com/4gwcMQ5T13Xh13…
it's been a long process. if you've taken an interest in this story and followed memorialization efforts at city council, i really can't thank you enough for your support and encouragement. this project was only possible with immense support from our community
the idea for the doc started when i discovered a forgotten chinese cemetery beneath houses in the lower rattlesnake. i didn't know then that folks dig up bones and caskets in their basements. i didn't know that city officials knew about the cemetery and tried to cover it up.

at today’s committee meeting, heidi west, stacie anderson and gwen jones led an effort to strike the whereas clause referring to anti-asian racism from this resolution, and lost the vote 7-5 after struggling to explain how their rationale was not rooted in racism!! WILD

just submitted this joint missoula county-city resolution to recognize missoula's chinese community and speak truth into the colonial historical record, particularly as montana politicians, on both sides of the aisle, ramp up their sinophobic rhetoric
say what u will about montana but it’s clear that this state will continue to be one of the country’s political flashpoints over the coming years. sure there’s a lot of fascism going on, but there are lots of anti fascists too
