synopsis The Filipino American community has often been an invisible part of American history. Kababayan ("countrymen") uncovers the depth and richness of this proud community in the Tri-State area. From the wonder of first stepping onto American soil in search of dreams to the excitement of establishing one's own ethnic identity in the melting pot of America, Kababayan spans several generations to unveil Filipino American culture.
