Janet Chen’s Film, Asian Bitches Speak, will have its world premiere at the 40th VC Film Festival/Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival 2024 on May 5, 2024. It tells the story of a mother-daughter journey that explores mental health and healing from intergenerational trauma amidst the rise in anti-Asian hate. The film was prompted by a violent verbal anti-Asian hate incident that Chen’s immigrant mother, Diana, survived on 4th of July, 2020 at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Chen earned her MFA in Social Documentation in 2023.
