在这部The Trained Chinese Tongue纪录片/短片片中,Filmmaker Laurie Wen examines how Chinese immigrants live at the complex crossroads of food, language, colonization, and immigration by approaching a series of strangers—all immigrant women—in a Chinatown grocery store and then following them home for dinner.
This documentary explores Chinese-American identity and the myth incorporated in the communal exchanges of food and language. As the filmmaker joins strangers in their cooking, eating, and other everyday rituals, she discovers \"instant bonding\" through a common immigrant status, despite vast differences in class, geo-political origins, and even language.
