About
Self Evident challenges the narratives of where we come from, where we belong, and where we're going — by telling Asian America's stories. With host Cathy Erway, we present reported narratives, personal stories, and community conversations that tackle today's tough questions about identity, cultural change, and nationhood. Season 1 of Self Evident is presented with the Center for Asian American Media, with additional support from the Ford Foundation. Self Evident is a Studiotobe production, incubated at the Made in NY Media Center by IFP.
