Mean girls, meet your match
Friends and filmmakers Lauren Parsekian and Molly Thompson take on the issue of female bullying through their award-winning documentary "Finding Kind."
Along with their mothers, both women packed their bags and hit the road to understand just why girls go mean. Along the way, they interviewed experts and women across the United States who'd been caught up in schoolyard politics and self-esteem battles. The journey became a school program, the non-profit Kind Campaign.

Interview with San Francisco mayoral candidate David Chiu
"I have been an Asian American activist since my days as the president of the Asian American Association in college at Harvard University. I moved to San Francisco 15 years ago, in part because our city is the Asian American capital in the United States. I ran for office in 2008 because I wanted to represent a city that, at the time, has very few Asian Americans in office.” - AsianWeek
