RISING AGAINST ASIAN HATE: ONE DAY IN MARCH
54 min/Directed by Titi Yu
In partnership with
Co-presented by 
In March 2021, a 21-year-old man murdered eight people, including six women of Asian descent, at three spas in Atlanta, Georgia – a horrific attack in a year of widespread anti-Asian violence. Rising Against Asian Hate: One Day in March pays tribute to the lives lost, examines the rise of anti-Asian racism, and documents a growing movement to fight back and stop the hate. For many, the tragic events became a galvanizing moment, reigniting a sense of collective identity and political engagement within AAPI communities. Now, as violence against AAPI people continues to surge nationwide, this documentary chronicles the troubling escalation of hate and spotlights the movement to turn grief and anger into action.
