First Generation (2017)

FIRST GENERATION explores the boundaries of self-expression and the experience of growing up as a first generation Asian American in the late 90's. It follows a young Asian American protagonist, My-Linh, through her challenges and eventual acceptance and embrace of her Asian features. Beauty is subjective and can be difficult for a young Asian American girl growing up where the media objectifies women and often portrays a white, tall, blonde female as the ideal woman.
