Topics like mental health, racism, and sexual assault are hard to talk about. In many immigrant communities, we are told to keep our heads down and work hard without questioning the societal issues that affect our lives. In this shorts program, filmmakers confront a number of critical ideas that overlap in the lives of Asian Americans and across cultures. Even though it may be hard, these films demonstrate how urgently we need to talk about it.
