Juanita Anderson is a filmmaker, photographer, media educator and curator who was born and raised in Detroit. Her creative work examines the lifeways and cultural histories of people of African descent, the role of the arts in society, and responses to social injustice that amplify the voices of communities too seldom seen on screen. She is best known for her role as executive producer of the Favorite Poem Project, and of the 1988 Academy Award-nominated feature film Who Killed Vincent Chin? (a film by Christine Choy and Renee Tajima), which was inducted into the National Film Registry in 2021.
