Join Vi and J with special guest Candace Ho, the writer and director of indie short film, Red, which deals with microaggressions and the fetishization of Asian women in a creative way. We talk about what inspired the film, from the overall lack of education about Asian American history to how difficult it is to have discussions about community issues with our own friends and family. Supporting indie creators willing to tackle Asian issues instead of shy away from it is important to us -- if you can, please donate to help get this short made----more------
