Disney is celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in the United States by adding a brand new collection on Disney+ featuring films and shows that highlight Asia and the Pacific, or star actors who are Asian or Pacific Islanders.

The month of May was chosen to commemorate the immigration of the first Japanese to the United States on May 7, 1843, and to mark the anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869. The majority of the workers who laid the tracks were Chinese immigrants.

This new Disney+ collection can be found on the Disney+ homepage or within the collections section of the Search page.

Here’s a look at what’s included in the Asian & Pacific Islander Stories Collection:
