PODCAST

Hearing From America's Undocumented Asians

The archetypal image of an undocumented immigrant in the United States may be a Latino — but Asians, America's fastest-growing immigrant group, represent an ascendant voice in the national conversation. In this episode of Asia Abridged, Tereza Lee — the inspiration for the DREAM Act — and Antonio Xu Liu talk about what it's like to be undocumented in the U.S.


CURRENT AFFAIRS

The controversial cricket star-turned-politician was inaugurated as Pakistan's prime minister on Saturday following a campaign in which he positioned himself as a populist reformer. Now that he's in office, can Imran Khan deliver on his promises? Anubhav Gupta of the Asia Society Policy Institute assesses the four key questions that will determine where Khan — and Pakistan — go from here.

FILM

A Whale of a Tale

Taiji, a small village on the Japanese coast, gained notoriety in 2010 after the documentary The Cove denounced its whale and dolphin hunting traditions. In her new film A Whale of a Tale, director Megumi Sasaki traveled to Taiji to get the locals' side of the story. Sasaki recently stopped by Asia Society for a screening of her new film followed by a conversation with our Executive Vice President Tom Nagorski.
