Amid the rise of anti-Asian violence, Chinese home attendants in New York City expose a home care agency that claims to “stop Asian hate,” yet forces them to work grueling 24-hour workdays that damage their health and families. Documenting the home attendants’ organizing to end the 24-hour workdays, this film challenges the common understanding of racist violence, and puts in spotlight those who maintain systemic racism under progressive-sounding banners.
