Making Waves: The Rise of Asian America explores the role of ethnic studies in shaping Asian American activism, from the 1968 student strikes to today’s movements fighting anti-Asian hate.

With clarity, compassion, and a strong intergenerational focus, the film amplifies the ongoing struggle to define Asian American identity on its own terms.
