Description

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

All in-person screening venues provide sound amplification headphones upon request with venue management. IFC Center can also provide a T-Coil loop for compatible devices.
