THE A LIST: 15 STORIES FROM ASIAN AND PACIFIC DIASPORAS

THE A LIST: 15 STORIES FROM ASIAN AND PACIFIC DIASPORAS

WORLD PREMIERE Sandra Oh, Sen. Tammy Duckworth, Kumail Nanjiani, Amanda Nguyen, Connie Chung, and beyond: their worlds may be disparate, but they’ve all, in their unique ways, navigated what it means to be Asian in relation to their American identities. While their success has been fraught with racism, they share their stories of losses and wins—to record and bear witness to the struggles, but also to inspire those who come after them. – Bedatri D. Choudhury

The first and second screenings will be followed by a Q&A with director/producer Eugene Yi, producer Jada Yuan, and executive producer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders.
