Roots and Wings

Roots & Wings is a micro-doc series that highlights innovative, culture-bridging WOC chefs who use food as a conduit for cultural awareness and as a means of perpetuating their cultural traditions. This first episode features Filipino-American chef Yana Gilbuena and her crusade to bring Kamayan-style Filipino food to all 50 states.
