| Summary |
*Violence, Sex Scenes and Coarse Language*This little-known chapter of cinema history goes from the first independent Chinese American film produced in 1916 to Ang Lee's triumphant Brokeback Mountain. Stories of Chinese American film artists are punctuated with a treasure trove of clips from over 90 films to weave a rich and complex tapestry, one marked by unforgettable performances and groundbreaking films, but also one tainted by a tangled history of race and representation.Hollywood Chinese at its heart is an expose on America itself and how it both exploits and rewards |
