On March 16, 2021, a 21-year-old white man murdered eight people in attacks on three separate spas across metropolitan Atlanta. Six of the eight victims were women of Asian descent. In the aftermath of the shootings, Asian American filmmakers Gina Kim and Titi Yu set out to tell the story. The result is the PBS documentary “Rising Against Asian Hate: One Day in March.” Gina and Titi join us to discuss the perspective they bring to their work, and what they have discovered about the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community in the face of anti-Asian violence. We also hear the emotional and inspiring story of Robert Peterson, whose mother Yong Ae Yue was killed in the shootings, and is featured in the film.
