Join us on a year-long journey, or just for this month. Watch from our list of films that reflect Asian-American and Pacific Islander experiences, then join us for a discussion with Joe Ponce.
The month of May continues our year-long journey to learn about our world from the divergent stories that filmmakers of all walks bring to us. At the beginning of each month we'll release a list of films around a particular theme. Watch as many as you choose, and at the end of the month, we'll converge for a discussion led by an expert. How can you get the list? Stop in the Adult Department at the Tremont Branch or register for this program to receive the list by email. Titles will be available on DVD, Bluray, or streaming free with your library card through Kanopy and Hoopla.
