The film, produced by the award-winning team of filmmakers who created An Untold Triumph, the story of Filipino American soldiers who fought in WWII, chronicles through first-person interviews four generations of Filipinos in the U.S. and their personal stories of triumph and sacrifice in America as well as their insights on U.S.-Philippine relations. Producer, director, and writer Noel M. Izon was born in Manila and spent 10 years at PBS affiliate WNVT-Virginia and at the Educational Film Center; he continues to serve as consultant to advertising and national public relations firms. Major General Antonio Taguba, interviewed in the film, is the U.S. Army officer who exposed the Abu Ghraib prison abuses and who was ostracized by military colleagues for speaking the truth. Maria Mabilangan Haley, also interviewed in the film, is currently Economic Secretary of the State of Arkansas and former Export-Import Bank of the United States officer during the Clinton administration. FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; RSVPs required. Please call (415) 422-6828. Co-presented with the Hotel Rex and the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM).
