Center for Asian American Media

This videotape uses hand-drawn illustrations and found footage to explore the conflicts of a child caught between her Chinese American background and the stereotypes and expectations created by mainstream American film and television images. After a grade-school event, she comes to terms with her ethnicity.

“The contrast between lived experience and media representations provides a starting point for classroom discussions about racism.”
