Each year, GBH honors the cultural achievements of the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities. Journalist Ann Curry participated this year's program designed to amplify and redefine AANHPI identity and culture.

Curry and filmmaker Ben Loeterman to discuss the AMERICAN EXPERIENCE documentary, Bombshell. The film explores how the U.S. government manipulated the narrative about the atomic bombings of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and sheds light on the efforts of a group of intrepid reporters to let the world know the truth.

Together, Ben and Ann discuss the enduring societal impact these historic events had on both Japanese and American lives. The conversation, moderated by Ryo Morimoto, Assistant Professor in Anthropology at Harvard University, serves as an entry point to understand the need for accurate reporting and the roots of AANHPI resilience.

Next, Tinku Ray, Executive Editor of The World sits with Curry for a one-on-one conversation about her personal journey and the cultural heritage that informs her approach to her career as a journalist.

Supported by our nonprofit partners including Greater Malden Asian American Community Coalition, India Association of Greater Boston and Ricesticks and Tea, the Asian Food Pantry.

We encourage everyone to watch AMERICAN EXPERIENCE documentary, Bombshell.
