Storyline

At the height of the AIDS epidemic, the rate of HIV infection among Asian-Pacific Islanders was the fastest growing among all ethnic groups, and yet there were no prevention and education programs targeting them in Massachusetts. MAP FOR HEALTH: 25 YEARS OF ASIAN PRIDE tells the story of a group of young Asian-Pacific Islanders who banded together in a grassroots effort to address a critical, unaddressed need in the Massachusetts Asian-Pacific Islander community during the AIDS crisis, and how the organization has evolved over the years, at one point with a full-time staff of ten, expanding and shifting its focus along the way. It is an inspirational example of how Asian-Pacific Islanders can pool their passion, talents, and resources together to accomplish something incredible and long-lasting.
