The historical roots of many issues we face in American society presently are discussed in the film, ranging from segregation, race relations, and equity in education. At one moment in the film Baldwin Chiu makes the point that in school he never learned anything about the discriminatory laws that affected Chinese-Americans and other minority groups.
Women Texas Film Festival Founder and Festival Director Justina Walford said, “The virtual presentation somehow added to the immediacy of the moment with our screenings and Q&As and it was thrilling to not just experience each film without distractions but to also hear from so many filmmakers and actors and documentary subjects from all around the world right in our living rooms. And the films that our jury selected for these awards all shared the fact that they touched and inspired our judges to such an extent that they needed to be honored.”
