The A List: 15 Stories from Asian and Pacific Diasporas

Directed by Eugene Yi, this latest entry in The List series from Timothy Greenfield-Sanders offers a rich tapestry of 15 personal vignettes from across America's Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities. Capturing a variety of lived experiences, from high-profile individuals such as actor Sandra Oh, journalist Connie Chung, and Senator Tammy Duckworth to unsung heroes like critical care nurse Madelyn Yu, these intimate first-person accounts invite viewers to question umbrella terms like "Asian American" and instead draw focus to the people and communities themselves. Through moving stories of tragedy, triumph, joy, and pain, the film reframes the proverbial "A List" by placing these vibrant portraits squarely at the center of American life.
