Jessie Watanabe
We NEED MORE Asian American representation on screen. “Representation remains an important part of the discourse about Asian American film because its origins stem from a desire to fight harmful stereotypes, and though we like to think there’s progress, things like the rise in hate acts and speech during COVID-19 remind us of the real-world stakes of racism.”
Dr Gilbert Gumoshabe
