AYR had the privilege of being part of an upcoming documentary, “Making Waves: The Rise of Asian America.” Directed and produced by Josh Chuck and Jon Osaka, this documentary dives into Asian American activism throughout history and the fight to incorporate our histories into curriculums nationwide.
The full documentary is coming later in 2025, but for now, see the trailer here!
“Making Waves: The Rise of Asian America explores the vital role of Ethnic Studies in redefining the narrative and promoting service to Asian American communities across the country. From the birth of Ethnic Studies at UC Berkeley and San Francisco State to present-day movements, Making Waves documents the stories of Asian American activism and efforts to lift up Ethnic Studies as a strategy to address present and future waves of anti-Asian hate.”
The documentary will premier CAAMFest on Saturday, May 10th, 4pm at the Kabuki Theater in San Francisco Japantown.
