Center for Asian American Media

Three young Asian American men recall meeting in the Yellow Brotherhood community basketball team at age six and later discovering the incredible 30-year history of the Yellow Brotherhood, which formed as an Asian American self-help group. With remarkable stills and footage from the ’60s and ’70s, this personal documentary is an inspiring portrait of the closely-knit Asian American community of Los Angeles.

“…a great discussion-starter for college classes, it also succeeds as a hopeful reminder to those of us who are many years out of college.”

- AsianWeek

“This grassroots effort has supplied our generation with methods of community-based substance abuse prevention and relatable role models who organized, spoke out and worked together constructively; this is a significant history that we cannot forget.”
