Who Killed Vincent Chin? is a 1987 American documentary film produced and directed by Christine Choy and Renee Tajima-Peñathat recounts the murder of Vincent Chin. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. In 2021, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
The film tracks the incident from the initial eye-witness accounts through the trial and its repercussions for the families involved, and the American justice system at large. After an outcry from the Asian American community, led by Vincent's mother Lily Chin, the case becomes a civil rights Supreme Court case. The case ends with tried killer Ronald Ebens' being let go with a suspended sentence and a small fine.
During the AAPI Heritage month, we can review the facts of the death of Vincent Chin, and reflect on what has improved, and what has not, in terms of Asian American human rights in the past 40 years. The documentary film Who Killed Vincent Chin remained the single most significant account of this tragedy.
1989年，崔明慧（Christine Choy）執導的紀錄片《誰殺了陳果仁？》（Who Killed Vincent Chin?）獲得奧斯卡最佳紀錄片獎提名，最後輸給講述納粹屠殺猶太人題材的紀錄片《終點旅店》（Hotel Terminus）。《誰殺了陳果仁？》在全球電影資訊網站IMDb上僅有幾百人選擇「看過」，評論文字極少。
在亞太裔傳統月中，華人可以藉由回顧陳果仁事件，反思四十年過去了，美國亞裔民權有什麽地方改善，有什麽地方還需要爭取提升。這是可以向下一代講述的美國華人歷史，甚至是美國亞裔歷史的重大里程碑。
