This month we celebrate Asian and Pacific Islander Americans for their contributions, past and present, to America's cultural richness and diversity. This year is particularly important as we've seen a rise in attacks against our friends, family, and loved ones. We encourage people of all races to stand in solidarity against the hatred and violence against the AAPI community. We are stronger together #StopAsianHate

Asian American Female Poets
This documentary offers rare interviews with over 15 major Asian-Pacific American women poets. Organized in interwoven sections such as Immigration, Language, Family, Memory, and Spirituality, it is a sophisticated merging of Asian-American history and identity with the questions of performance, voice, and image.
