The Film
News for Home examines the emotional landscape following an instance of AAPI hate — not the headline, but what happens after.
Created as part of the AAPI Strong CA initiative, this film serves as a facilitation tool for anti-bias and cultural sensitivity trainings across corporate and community spaces.
It invites viewers to ask:
How do we respond when harm happens?
How do we show up for our loved ones?
How do we build empathy that leads to action?
AAPI Strong CA convenes elected officials, policymakers, business owners, and alliance partners to drive meaningful dialogue and solutions. This piece was designed to support that work — not as commentary, but as conversation.
