Anyone know of any films based on asian immigration and belonging? (1 Viewer)

Hey guys!
My prescribed text is the memoir Romulus My Father and i'm looking for a related text (preferably a film) that would be based on asian immigration and their struggle to belong.
I've had someone suggest to me "Mao's last dancer" ... but it seems that quite a lot of people are doing it.

Cheers!

Apparently it's not a film.

Try avoiding films especially films based on novels. My teachers call it the lazy option.
Also documentaries > film.
once upon a time in cabramatta is EXACTLY what you need for romulus. You have mental illness, children being neglected, the struggle towards assimiliation etc and there are a TONNEE of valuable quotes by all sorts of professionals.

Why wont you consider it?

Indeed "Once upon a time in Cabramatta" would be a good text.
