Seeds of Hope (2021)

Seeds of Hope follows a passionate Hmong community leader as she helps refugee families navigate the COVID pandemic, while planting seeds for a hopeful future. For more than a decade, Mayhoua Moua has worked to address high rates of chronic disease among Southeast Asian American women in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. But when COVID-19 hit, she pivots to meet the community's needs. We witness Mayhoua's heroic work to help refugees from Myanmar to survive, adapt, and thrive.

This documentary short was supported by the Asian American Documentary Network (A-Doc) as part of the A-Doc Storytelling Initiative: Asian American Stories of Resilience & Beyond. Seeds of Hope is available for streaming on A-Doc’s platforms and will broadcast on the PBS WORLD Channel this winter.
