Dear Friend,

Mayor Lee was a great friend to the Filipina Women's Network. For many years, when we held the Filipina Summit in San Francisco, he welcomed our members and FWN100 awardees with open arms to his beloved City.

Please join us at the world premiere of the documentary "MAYOR ED LEE". 

The hour long documentary tells the inspiring story of Ed Lee’s life: from growing up in Seattle’s public housing, to becoming the first Asian American Mayor of San Francisco, his sudden death and the legacy he leaves behind. The film includes interviews with his family and friends, including former San Francisco Mayors Willie Brown and Art Agnos, Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry, and former Washington Governor Gary Locke. The documentary was written and produced by two time Emmy award winner Rick Quan.
