This short film precedes the following film(s): SHORTS: IT HURTS TO BE ALONE
Growing up in Oakland’s hip-hop culture, Eng struggles with her Chinese American identity. To her high school basketball team, she’s just that girl who sits on the bench; but to the Asian kids, she’s "Americanized."
With clear Oakland energy (including music by legendary Bay Area group Zion I), AMERICANIZED showcases the struggle that many go through in finding a sense of belonging and acceptance between two worlds.
