This episode is what we call a "Field Episode" because the content has been captured outside of our studio. We're sharing it with you so that you can get a feel of how intimate and powerful the Q+A's are after people watch our film. 

Key takeaways are:

1. If you're a first gen you're probably familiar with putting your own feelings on the back burner. It's important to talk about your experience (even if you feel guilty) because this is a shared experience which means you're not alone.
2. That in the wake of the tragic murder of George Floyd, an opening was created that invited nuanced storytelling from marginalized communities to come in and add to the collective narrative. Authentic storytelling is one of the more powerful ways we connect to our own sense of belonging.
3. A shared ideology called collectivism unites people across ethnic groups and that awareness pulls us together in arguably the most polarizing of times.
