The Nantucket Atheneum and the Town of Nantucket's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Office invites you to celebrate Asian American Pacific Islanders Heritage Month, 2023. This year we celebrate with the film Pop Aye (2017). Described by the Washington Post as "a tragicomic tale of interspecies bromance." Pop Aye was written and directed by Kristen Tan.

On a chance encounter, a disenchanted architect bumps into his long-lost elephant on the streets of Bangkok. Excited, he takes his elephant on a journey across Thailand, in search of the farm where they grew up together.

Run Time: 1hr.44min.
