Synopsis

A feature documentary about the Auntie Sewing Squad, a grassroots collective founded by performance artist Kristina Wong in March 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. As PPE shortages spread across the U.S., hundreds of volunteers—mostly BIPOC women, along with Uncles and non-binary members—turned their homes into sewing hubs producing cloth masks for vulnerable communities and essential workers. The group quickly grew from a few dozen activists into a nationwide network of more than 800 volunteers. Beyond providing masks, the collective used mutual aid to support historically marginalized communities and openly discuss feminism, anti-racism, allyship, and resistance to systemic inequality.
