Documentary Pitch

I’d like to focus my documentary on the effects the coronavirus has on Asian Americans. As an Asian American myself, I’ve experienced and witnessed both subtle and very blunt racially charged harassment and abuse since the rise of the panic and misinformation of the coronavirus. I’d like to use several of my peers as subjects as well as my parents who are older, both 65 and 68. This is to show the hidden and also upfront discomfort some people in New York City have against Asians and Chinese people specifically since the start of the coronavirus.
