“My Asian-American Dream” Documentary
Directed by Truman Miles Ruberti
Produced by Emily W. Pease
In 2022, “My Asian-American Dream,” a documentary film focusing on the stories of three
Asian-Americans, premiered at the Ampersand Global Film Festival at William & Mary.
Filmed and edited by Truman Ruberti, a Korean-American former film student at William & Mary, and produced by Emily W. Pease, the film features interviews with Satoshi Ito, a Japanese American citizen who was confined to a concentration camp in Arkansas during WWII; Jenny Loveland, an artist and former Lieutenant-Colonel in the U.S. Air Force who was born in Tokyo to a Japanese mother and an American GI; and Hannah Aronson, an adoptee from China.
The film asks the question, “Are you a real American?” Each answers in a different way. What does it mean to be Asian? To be Asian in America?
With a musical score by Hunter Pease along with the skillful use of archival photos, the film is both lyrical and political.
Running time: 90 minutes.
