Actor George Takei is famous for his role as Mr. Sulu on the original Star Trek — not to mention his wildly popular humor on Facebook. But before he became a star, he lived as an inmate in an internment camp and was forced into Asian stereotypes on screen.

Monday, 4/14 at 8pm at Gene Siskel Film Center -- To Be Takei -- Directed by: Jennifer Kroot -- Since coming out in 2005, actor George Takei, beloved as Star Trek’s Hikaru Sulu, has developed a parallel career as an activist against homophobia and for marriage equality. Director Kroot taps Takei’s sharp intelligence and wicked sense of humor in telling the story of a man who spent his childhood in a Japanese internment camp and battled racism and stereotyping throughout his long career. Interviews include William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Howard Stern, and Dan Savage. DCP digital. (BS) #tobetakei #georgetakei #faaim #chicago #genesiskelfilmcenter #film #art
