Film Series

The LUNAR Collective originally launched in February 2021 as “LUNAR: the Jewish-Asian Film Project”, a film series featuring 23 Asian American Jews. Through 11 episodes, these nuanced, unscripted conversations dove deep into themes of belonging, traditions, cultural trauma, the model minority myth, discrimination, and Jewish intersectionality.
