We’re planning our Fall Tour including stops in Virginia, Massachusetts, Oregon, Arizona, Georgia and Michigan, as well as Europe and Asia.  Whether you’ve seen Tested, or hope we bring a screening to your city, consider a tax-deductible donation to our efforts!

Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

May marks Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in the United States. Yet, as the fastest growing population in the country, undocumented stories are often overlooked. FWD.us and MinKwon Center for Community Action are proud to present two short documentaries Halmoni and Dream Riders Across America to educate AAPI communities on pains of family separation as well as dreams and hopes of undocumented immigrant youth.

The documentary screening will be followed by a short community discussion; a special Open Mic Night will close the event.

Light fare and refreshments will be available. Event will start promptly at 7:00pm, screening will start at 7:10pm. WeWork Studio Square is kindly providing their Terrace space for this event.
