50 Years

In this film by the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF) and filmmaker ManSee Kong, we hear from early pioneers, important community partners, and the Asian American movement's next generation of activists as they recount the past fifty years of this storied organization and what the next fifty years could look like.

Featured voices include AALDEF founding director Margaret Fung, Stan Mark, Phil Tajitsu Nash, Ronak Patel, Janai Nelson of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, playwright David Henry Hwang, and AALDEF incoming executive director Bethany Li.
