Public Service Announcement: Asian American Gothic

This public service announcement, created by director Brian G. Cheung and production company Only Today puts expresses a simple message: Asian Americans are Americans. This is in response to the ongoing trend of anti-Asian attacks, and in particular to the attack on a man and his 5 year old daughter in Portland Oregon. The daughter of Vicha Ratanapakdee, who was murdered in San Francisco, is shown in the PSA holding his picture.

The Asian American couple at the start has been posed to resemble the couple in the classic American painting American Gothic by Grant Wood.
