Mapping Treasures
How did the first migrants from Asia come to the land of the brave, and what did they take with them? Participants of YHLH from the Asian Arts Initiative tried to answer this question by asking themselves and their families what they would bring if they will have to settle to a foreign land. The young filmmakers depicted their epic journey through a stop-motion film tracing their families’ migratory path on a world map.
