Join us this May for a powerful screening series in honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month. Each week, we’ll explore a different chapter in American history through the acclaimed WETA for PBS series Asian Americans, a bold and personal five-part documentary that reshapes how we understand our past—and our present. Told through the lived experiences of those who helped shape the nation, Asian Americans brings to light stories of strength, identity, struggle, and triumph. 

Screenings will be held weekly and include one to two episodes that trace the evolution of Asian American experiences from the 19th century to the 21st. Discover how Asian Americans have long been at the heart of the American story—and how their contributions continue to guide the way forward. 

A Question of Loyalty 

An American-born generation straddles their country of birth and their parents’ homelands in Japan and Korea. Those loyalties are tested during World War II, when families are imprisoned in detention camps, and brothers find themselves on opposite sides of the battle lines.
