Asian American and Pacific Islander Month

This month, we're sharing stories about Asian American and Pacific Islander artists!

For 100 years, the plot of the first Asian American film was indecipherable. With missing reels and no intertitles, The Curse of Quon Gwon went largely ignored. Until now. “Family Legend” follows the filmmaker’s descendants and their allies as they solve a mystery 100 years in the making.
