It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

VietLead's documentary Taking Root will be going on a tour with the Southeast Asian Relief and Responsibility (SEARR) Campaign over the next year to grapple with our traumatic pasts, heal together, and fight for local and national changes we need.

Taking Root is a docuseries that amplifies the intergenerational impact of structural violence and demonstrates the power of Southeast Asian refugees resisting and rebuilding in America. It is based in Philadelphia but is a story that Southeast Asian refugee communities across the U.S. also experienced after their resettlement.
