Library: The Golden Screen - The Movies that Made Asian America

The past decade has been a groundbreaking era for Asian-centric storytelling in Hollywood films, from the mainstream success of Crazy Rich Asians to the amazing achievements of Everything, Everywhere, All at Once.  Jeff Yang takes an in-depth look at these cinematic triumphs, and the decades of films that paved the way, in conversation with celebrated documentary filmmaker Renee Tajima-Peña, who is working on adapting The Golden Screen as a series for television.
