An excerpt from Q&A: Ramifications of Identity, a documentary produced in 2008, interviewing Asians and Pacific Islanders identifying as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer.

An undergraduate senior project conceived of in 2004, the film developed from an educational social justice piece to a project aimed at providing visibility of QAs to one another and an exploration of queer people of color theory.

Given the minimal media available for and about queer APIs and queer people of color in general, the film can hopefully contribute to discussions around immigration, diaspora, gender, and sexuality.



Q&A was a part of the Art XChange Gallery's 2009 APA Heritage Month exhibit artxchange.org/. It has also screened at Aaina 2009 tasveer.org/, The Evergreen State College and Seattle Central C.C.'s "Teaching and Learning Cross Cultural Understanding and Social Justice Through Documentary Film."

Q&A is available for screening rentals and purchase.
