- Remembering St. Louis 1904
Two videos about the World's Fair of 1904. One of the videos, 'Bontoc Eulogy' tells one of those stories from the perspective of a first generation Filipino American who tries to trace what happened to his grandfather, a Bontoc Igorot warrior, who was brought from the Philippines to be displayed at the St. Louis fair and who never returned to his native village.

- SOMCAN
South of Market Community Action Network was founded in 2001 by a group of grassroots organizations committed to serving the needs of youth, seniors, veterans, the Filipino community, low-income residents, and the homeless in the South of Market neighborhood. Initially we came together informally in response to the unprecedented and unrestricted level of gentrification and displacement that we were seeing in our community, which included individual residents, small businesses, and non-profit organizations. Our goal was to support community members in immediate threat of eviction in the form of offering space for meetings, assisting with needed resources, and providing a collective voice. We found that this form of community organizing was very successful at leveraging the power needed for residents to be heard and achieve their goals - Mission St., San Francisco, CA.

- The Alvarado Project
Through My Father's Eyes. Ricardo Alvarado arrived in California in 1928 as a 14-year-old in the first wave of Filipino immigrants. For 20 years he studied the city and nearby rural areas in his free time with his view camera in hand, recording Filipino community life at dances, banquets, baptisms, funerals, and other gatherings. When he died in 1976, Ricardo Ocreto Alvarado left an archive of nearly 3,000 rare photographs, a vital portrait of early Filipino Americans.

- World on a String
Two men, a simple toy, and a hundred years of ups and downs. A documentary-in-progress written, directed, and produced by Cynthia Liu. Just about everybody recognizes the name Duncan when it comes to yo-yos. But did you know the first man to own a yo-yo company in America was a Filipino immigrant by the name of Pedro Flores? In addition to launching one of the world's best-loved toys, he hired numerous Filipino American yo-yo demonstrators and played a central role in popularizing the toy as we know it.
