Asian American Voices: Shaping Silicon Valley, Strengthening Community, Sharing Hope (Film Trailer Below)

Produced by Silicon Valley Asian American Voices, this documentary follows the stories—the successes, hardships, and hopes—of three Asian American immigrants in Silicon Valley. Despite struggling through language, cultural, and health care barriers, these individuals readily work to shape the local community. This piece explores the strengthening of community through the support of immigrant populations.

Go to our "Voices Film" page to watch the full film here on our website, available in four chapters.

 

 

About Silicon Valley Asian American Voices

Silicon Valley Asian American Voices (Voices) is a multimedia project that facilitates education and advocacy on policy issues that impact Asian American immigrants. The project is coordinated by Asian Americans for Community Involvement (AACI) and made possible by a grant from Silicon Valley Community Foundation. Through video, website, policy briefs, and community dialogues, the project’s goals are to:

 

  1. Educate the community on the history, experiences, barriers to success, and community contributions of Asian American immigrants in Silicon Valley;
  2. Identify key policy issues that facilitate the integration of Asian American immigrant communities; and
  3. Foster cross-cultural understanding among various ethnic communities.
