SISTERS 'N' BROTHERS
Director: Veena Cabreros-Sud, 1994, 4 mins, Experimental
Rape. Race. Rap. This is a hard-hitting feminist look at a revolution-gone-awry among postcolonial people. This experimental work explodes current dialogues on gender wars.

THAT'S THE WAY LOVE GOES...?
Director/Editor: Jenny Hau; Producer: Vietnamese Youth Development Center
1995, 6 mins, Documentary
An unpretentious yet sophisticated look at teen “girlfriends” and “boyfriends” and how the terms rarely connote commitment.

BECAUSE I LOVED HIM
Directors: Daniel Hermosillo, Jose Gonzales & Jaime Velis; Producers: Susan Boyle & Cheri Gaulke; Produced through the Humanitas Program, Los Angeles.
1994, 4 mins, Documentary
A teenage girl tells her story of being in a physically abusive relationship, how she coped with it and finally acted to stop her boyfriend’s abuse. It is a very honest look at this important issue.
