THE GRACE LEE PROJECT
Directed by: Grace Lee
A Women Make Movies Release
Screening to be followed by Q&A with the Director -- Refreshments provided
When award-winning Korean-American filmmaker Grace Lee was growing up in Missouri, she was the only Grace Lee she knew. But when she later moved to New York and California, everyone she met seemed to know "another Grace
Lee," assuming all Grace Lees were nice, dutiful, piano-playing bookworms.
Pursuing the moving target of Asian American female identity, the filmmaker
plunges into a clever and humorous investigation into all those Grace Lees
around the world who break the mold, revealing the complexity and diversity of Asian American women's experiences.
