Asian Americans TV Series

Check out the Asian Americans TV series that is free to watch online on PBS.

From a press release in 2019:

“Beverly Hills, CA; July 29, 2019 – Today at the Television Critics Association Press Tour, PBS and WETA announced ASIAN AMERICANS, a new five-part documentary series currently in production and expected to broadcast in May 2020 on PBS. The series examines what the 2010 U.S. Census identifies as the fastest growing racial/ethnic group in the United States. Told through individual lives and personal histories, ASIAN AMERICANS explores the impact of this group on the country’s past, present, and future.”

About the show:

“Asian Americans is a five-hour film series that will chronicle the contributions, and challenges of Asian Americans, the fastest-growing ethnic group in America. Personal histories and new academic research will cast a fresh lens on U.S. history and the role Asian Americans have played in it.”:

This would be great for students to watch and gain a better understanding of the Asian American history and culture.

If you watch it, let me know what you think!
