A 1914 Japanese-American film was thought to be lost to time until a professor figured out the decaying reels were in a vault.

Professor Denise Khor of Northeastern University discovered a rare piece of movie history while she was doing research for a book about film culture. The reels she found in 2016 were believed to be the only known copy of “The Oath of the Sword.” It is among the earliest Asian-American films, historians said.
