“No Dogs” is a short film set against the backdrop of the Watsonville Riots of 1930 when anti-Filipino violence raged across California’s Central Valley. It confronts the history of racial discrimination against Filipinos. Written by Alex S. Fabros, Jr. and Georgina Tolentino the 2021 film introduces audiences to Marisol, a Filipina who seeks safety after the bombing of a taxi dance hall where Filipino men and white women socialize. As the night grows darker and the sounds of gunshots louder, Marisol finds herself in the most unlikely of places: seated in a diner with a white man named Carl.
