Includes interviews with actors Mako, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, James Shigeta, Dustin Nguyen, Will Yun Lee, Phillip Rhee, Tzi Ma, comedian Bobby Lee, producer Terence Chang, casting director Heidi Levitt and directors Gene Cajayon and Eric Byler. The film contains over fifty film clips of depictions of East Asian American male characters from Hollywood films spanning almost a century. It asks why and how stereotypical portrayals still persist, and why the roles for East Asian American men are diminishing even as the East Asian American population is increasing. Written by Jeff Adachi and Brian McInnis See less
