Jasmine Lee Ehrhardt 2015 #MemoriestoLight campaign testimonial
“Because of the organic, unscripted nature of home movies and their ability to capture everyday moments or important occasions in that Asian American family, the widespread distribution of these films allows these images and their personal stories to be normalized.”
Pamela Vadakan Supports Memories to Light
Pamela Jean Vadakan, coordinator of the California Audiovisual Preservation Project, explains why she supports CAAM’s Memories to Light campaign.
