Emergence: Out of the Shadows

Directed by Vinay Giridhar

Heart-wrenching and healing, their distinct coming-out paths offer comfort, compassion, and inspiration to individuals and communities struggling with acceptance.

What Flowers They Bloom

Directed by C. Hudson Hwang

An intimate look at Asian-Canadian small business owner, Andy Sue, as he explores the psychological trauma of a first-hand encounter with racism during the pandemic.
