Or have they unknowingly, through their own hubris, unleashed something upon the world which will finally fracture the delicate balance they have tried desperately for centuries to maintain?

Hazard Short Film
Hazard is a short narrative film centering on a black man who takes his brother and 10-year-old son on a camping road trip to the Grand Canyon; this is something they’ve never done. Their car breaks down on the highway and they’re approached by two white police officers. They end up getting their car searched and the situation escalates. No one gets hurt, but the idea is that activities that should be normal (such as taking a road trip or having car trouble) are tainted by the effects of racism. In adversity, the family chooses to continue their journey.

Asians Unite for Black Power
Created as a call for pan Asian-Americans to show up for our Black brothers and sisters, now and moving forward. This piece was created to bring more Asians into the conversation, to confront the ways our community has historically contributed to an anti-black narrative so that we can better support the fight to abolish deep-rooted systemic racism worldwide and within our own cultures. The goal is to amplify the call of Black Lives Matter by increasing the presence of Asian allies without taking focus away from Black voices.
We, as BackerKit, stand in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. We stand against racism and anti-blackness, police brutality, and the systemic racial injustices that the Black community faces. We are highlighting Black creators and their projects in this blog. You can read our full statement here.
