Northeastern University Professor Denise Khor has uncovered a rare Japanese-American 1914 silent film after extensive research to locate the lost reels. ‘The Oath of the Sword’ was believed to have been lost until Khor discovered the decaying reels safely stored in a vault. After restoration, the film will premiere in Los Angeles on Sunday.
