Description

An idealistic family man and a cynical aspiring filmmaker are hired as the Chinese American consultants for Broken Blossoms, Hollywood’s first onscreen interracial love story between a white actress and a white actor in yellowface makeup. If the circumstances were not already questionable enough, the consultants must contend with the outsized ego of the film’s director, D.W. Griffith, who is attempting to belie criticisms of racism after releasing his controversial film The Birth of a Nation.
