Justice is Global presents Asia on My Mind, an event series that reckons with the legacies of U.S. interventions in the Asia-Pacific region that have shaped cultural memories of many Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.

Join us for a virtual screening and panel discussion of Call Her Ganda, a film by PJ Raval. When Jennifer Laude, a Filipina trans woman, is brutally murdered by a U.S. Marine, three women intimately invested in the case—an activist attorney (Virgie Suarez), a transgender journalist (Meredith Talusan) and Jennifer’s mother (Julita “Nanay” Laude)—galvanize a political uprising, pursuing justice and taking on hardened histories of U.S. imperialism.

Participants will be provided online access to the film at least 24 hours prior to the June 10 event. No time to watch the film? No worries; we will play a 10-minute clip at the beginning of the event to capture the gist of the film.

At the event, we will be joined by a panel of activists and organizers based in the U.S. and the Philippines, as well as PJ Raval, to discuss how the murder of Jennifer Laude reveals the tragic intersection of imperialism, gender, transphobia and violence.
