In efforts to increase the visibility of Asian American documentary filmmakers and storytellers, the Asian American Documentary Network (A-Doc) continues to create space, resources, and community to support more diverse stories that disrupt mainstream narratives. Join A-Doc for some exciting updates from their latest programmatic initiatives.
Impact Fellowship Showcase
Hear from the inaugural cohort of A-Doc’s Impact Fellowship, where social justice-oriented leaders, filmmakers and impact strategists organize within and support AAPI communities towards long-term, equitable social change by leveraging nonfiction storytelling.
Microdocs Showcase
Hear about A-Doc’s latest storytelling initiative “Our Stories, Our Voices”, a series of six microdocs that centers voting and election stories in AAPI communities. The series leans into our strengths as documentarians of the diaspora, uplifting emerging voices, and sharing unique perspectives on issues facing the nation that have largely remained invisible.
In partnership with A-Doc.
Featuring the A-Doc Impact Fellows: Tanzila Ahmed, Vivian Chang and Jiefei (Faye) Yuan and the A-Doc Microdocs filmmakers: Mia Barnett, Chithra Jeyaram, Sonia Desai Rayka and Eden Sabolboro.
