Ironically Exploitive Title; Not About Anna May Wong
cdlistguy8 September 2021
While the information and issues conveyed in this short docu-memoir are important, the title is misleading, and one wonders if it was simply used as a kind of clickbait to draw attention to the film. The brief segment at the beginning which actually focuses on Wong states that she was no longer being offered roles, and that contributed to her death. Actually, she was still active in television and film, and was set to star in "Flower Drum Song," when she died. Watch this to get an idea of the struggles that Asian-Americans go through in the film industry, but best to check out the following book if you wish to learn more about Anna May Wong: "Perpetually Cool: The Many Lives of Anna May Wong."
