A-Doc Storytelling Initiative: Asian-American stories in the time of coronavirus

Updated: Feb 22, 2023

Join us in supporting A-Doc’s latest storytelling initiative, a series of micro documentaries sharing Asian-American stories during the time of Coronavirus (#AsianAmCovidStories/#ADocGoesViral).

Asian American Documentary Network (A-Doc) is a national network that works to increase the visibility and supports the work of Asian-Americans in the documentary field. They are committed to sharing ideas and resources while advocating for equity and diversity in the production and distribution of non-fiction storytelling.

Due to the impact of COVID-19 in disrupting people’s lives around the world, these non-fiction storytellers share these largely invisible stories from a unique perspective as members of the Asian diaspora. With the goal of increasing awareness and archiving current realities, these documentarists hope to inform the current population as well as future generations.

Their CALL TO ACTION is:

  1. Share A-Doc’s Storytelling Initiative with your followers and community by directing them to our social media accounts.

  2. Encourage AAPI Storytellers in your community to tell their own stories (video/written+photo) and participate using #AsianAmCovidStories

  3. “Share your AAPI story using #AsianAmCovidStories

You can watch a replay of a Facebook Live discussion on virtual theatrical distribution scenarios here.
