Shoreline Community College is pleased to host a screening of "Asog" in celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. 

AAPI Month Film Screening: ASOG (2023)
“Asog” is a touching tale of survival, resistance, and solidarity, as told by the real-life victims of the Super Typhoon Yolanda that devastated the Philippines in 2013. An award-winning film that premiered in 2023, the film follows the unlikely friendship between Jaya and Arnel, as they find their way to Sicogon together.

Since its premiere in 2023, it has made its way across the global film festival circuit, winning over 10 international jury prizes. The attention it received created enough pressure on to spark negotiations for reparations to rebuild the stolen lands and homes of the residents of Sicogon.

“Flipping the conventions of the road movie on its head, Asog is a stunning and profound ode to the power of solidarity amidst struggle. This one-of-a-kind film plays with the line between narrative and documentary to become something entirely new. Co-writer and director Seán Devlin has crafted a monument of trans cinema.”
- Tribeca Film Festival

Food and drinks will be provided after the screening, and will take place in the 1600 Building (Theatre).

The film is 1 hr 39 mins, in Tagalog and other dialects with English captions. This screening is sponsored in partnership by SCC Gender Equity Center and WAVES Asian & Pacific Islander Student Center.
