Description

As she prepares for the audition of a lifetime (playing Anna May Wong in a biopic about Hollywood’s first East Asian starlet) China Doll must confront and untangle the ingénue’s legacy as she discovers astonishing parallels between them and the ways they navigate love, life, and identity as East Asian actors in the west. Don't Call Me China Doll explores the intricacies of internalised racism and self-worth. A compelling exploration of identity, discrimination and progress, prompting audiences to reflect on how and why East Asians face the same biases as they did a century ago.
