The Bridge

2024 · 85 min · Documentary

Fifty years ago, our country grappled with discrimination that profoundly impacted minority communities. In Los Angeles, neighborhood leaders united to challenge these barriers by establishing a community-focused bank, aiming to deliver the American dream to those marginalized. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of a journey that has closely mirrored the experiences of the Asian American and Pacific Islanders community. To commemorate this shared journey, the East West Bank Foundation commissioned director Evan Leong (Linsanity, Snakehead, and Level Up with Stephen Curry) to create The Bridge. This feature-length documentary explores the struggles, perseverance, and successes that have empowered us all to reach further.
