For Whom the Alarm Sounds
Directed by Zishun Ning
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.
Hometown Legends
Directed by Kolby Akamu Moser, Nainoa Langer
Hawaiians have long been known for their storytelling and oral history, so in a society quickly moving away from cross-generational conversations and cultural traditions we sat down with five legendary kūpuna (elders) to document their history, mea hana (craft), and kuleana (responsibility) as it was passed down to them. We capture stories about their ʻāina hānau (native land), adversities overcome, accomplishments and the wisdom they believe is important to pass down to the next generation.
