CACF Promo
The CACF Promo, Recording Voices, Road to John Liu, and QAPAW were made with the support of the Manhattan Neighborhood Network Tactical Media Grant.
Recording Voices: Communicating with Immigrant Families
Recording Voices: Communicating with Immigrant Families is a groundbreaking documentary that sheds light on the language barriers which many immigrant families face in accessing education and health care services in New York City. Learn how one mother overcomes hardships in hopes of better opportunities for her daughter, who is faced with autism.
Produced in 2006; dir. Arlene Tucker
Road to John Liu: Students Fight for Safe Schools
"The Road to John Liu: Students Fight for Safe Schools" follows Asian Pacific American youth leaders in CACF's Asian American Student Advocacy Project (ASAP) as they prepare to meet with the only Asian Pacific American council member of New York City in order to advocate for safer schools for Asian Pacific American and immigrant students, who are often victims of harassment and bullying. This 28-minute film is a great starting point for many discussions: harassment and bullying in high schools, the New York City public school system, Asian Pacific American youth and advocacy, and more.
Produced in 2006; dir. Kevin Lee
QAPAW: Queer Asian Pacific American Workshops
This documentary follows a group of Asian Pacific American LGBTQ youth as they explored the intersection of race, ethnicity, and sexual identity. In the summer of 2005, QAPAW: Queer Asian Pacific American Workshops offered a safe space for youth participants to discuss and raise awareness on issues of identity, with a focus on LGBTQ and Asian Pacific American communities. Through their participation in QAPAW, the youth were supported in their own self-discovery process as LGBTQ Asian Pacific American youth, developed their organizing and advocacy skills, worked with mentors and fellow advocates, and expanded their reach as socially conscious youth leaders working to promote awareness of the LGBTQ Asian Pacific American community.
Produced in 2006; dir. Kevin Lee and Arlene Tucker
