AAPI Heritage Month: NBC presents 'Life Stories'



FOR ASIAN AMERICAN Pacific Islander Heritage Month, NBC will have a feature about AAPI individuals entitled Life Stories.

Rini Sampath
Influential and rising voices across America will tell us, in their own words, what the Asian American and Pacific Islander experience is to them.
One of the subjects is Rini Sampath which spotlight her journey as a daughter of immigrants arrived to America to seek better opportunities for their children to her achievement as USC’s first woman president (and first woman of color) in over a decade. 

Her portion of the show will be positioned with S. Leo Chiang and Johnny Symons’ OUT RUN, an equally politically-charged feature documentary on a revolutionary Philippine political party composed of LGBT aspirants for national office. 

From the trailer, other subjects include Vivek Murthy, Simran Jeet Singh, the a cappella singing group, the Filharmonics and more.

New episodes of Life Stories will be released Thursdays beginning May 5 and will be available on NBCAsianAmerica.com, NBC Asian America's Facebook page, NBC News' official YouTube channel, and the NBC News app available on mobile devices, Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire.
