We are thankful for the support of law firms and bar associations in BC, Canada, and even the US. Our documentary aims to raise awareness for and continue the dialogue about discrimination, stereotyping, and bias faced by the pan-Asian legal community.

If your firm or legal organization is interested in a private screening and/or promoting our documentary on your online platforms, please contact [email protected]. We are compiling a list of community partners to thank those who have helped us promote this project, one that has been over a year in the making.
