Spoken word artist Kelly Zen-Yie Tsai informed me the other day that HBO’s mini-documentary East of Main Street: Asians Aloud is available until the end of May on HBO On-Demand ( On-Demand>Movies or Documentaries>Asian Heritage>Asians Aloud ). Check out the trailer or for a limited time, watch it online.
The producers and directors tell fourteen stories with respect to exploring diverse aspects of the Asian Pacific Islander American diaspora. From religion to politics, from cultural identity to ethnic identity, the documentary explores the perspectives and lives of not only Asians who left their lives half a world away to come to the US, but also those who have always called America home.
