The National Asian American Telecommunications Association (NAATA) is a media arts service organization whose mission is to advance the ideals of cultural pluralism in America and to promote better understanding of the Asian Pacific American experience.
NAATA has developed special presentations for PBS as well as co-presentations with the national Point of View (POV) series. Our past co-presentations include WHO KILLED VINCENT CHIN? by Renee Tajima and Christine Choy, and Steven Okazaki's DAYS OF WAITING, winner of an Academy Award and Peabody Award. Recent co-presentations on PBS include SA-I-GU, a collaborative work by Christine Choy, Elaine Kim, and Dai Sil Kim-Gibson, ESCAPE FROM CHINA, by Iris Kung, and BUI DOI: LIFE LIKE DUST by Nicholas Rothenberg and Ahrin Mishan.
The following programs will be co-presented by NAATA and POV this summer.
1. a.k.a. Don Bonus: A raw and revealing video diary by a Cambodian-born teenager who turns the camera on himself. Under the guidance of veteran filmmaker Spencer Nakasako, Sokly "Don Bonus" Ny offers a stark look at coming of age in San Francisco's inner city where he confronts the reality of the American dream. "Alongside 'Hoop Dreams,' 'Frosh,' and other recent documentarie, 'a,k,a, Don Bonus" provides a tough but refreshing look at the melting pot's youthful future." - VARIETY

4. Maya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision - The Vietnam War Memorial was one of the most controversial monuments of its time. Thrust into the eye of the storm was architect-sculptor Maya Lin, whose design for the memorial was chosen when she was a 21-year-old student. Withstanding bitter attacks, she held her ground with clarity and grace. In this Academy Award winner, Freida Lee Mock follows a decade in the life of this visionary artist. "Two thumbs up" - Siskel and Ebert
