The Laguna Beach Cultural Arts Center proudly presents Maya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision, an Academy Award-winning documentary that tells the extraordinary story of a young woman who transformed the way we remember history.
At just 20 years old, Maya Lin, a Chinese American architecture student, won a nationwide competition to design the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Her strikingly minimalist design—now one of the most revered monuments in the world—was met with intense controversy, political backlash, and personal attacks, particularly due to her age, gender, and Asian heritage. Yet, through unwavering resilience and an unshakable belief in her artistic vision, Lin overcame adversity to create a profoundly moving work that redefined public memorials.
Directed by Freida Lee Mock, this inspiring documentary explores the power of art, identity, and perseverance, offering an intimate look at a groundbreaking artist whose work continues to shape our collective memory.
