“DELIGHTFUL! (A) funny but complex meditationon identity, ethnicity and culturalexpectations.”

When award-winning Korean-American filmmaker Grace Lee was growing up in Missouri, she was the only Grace Lee she knew. In New York and California, however, everyone she met seemed to know "another Grace Lee." But why did they assumethat all Grace Lees were reserved, dutiful, piano-playing bookworms? The filmmakerplunges into a clever, highly unscientific investigation into all those Grace Lees whobreak the mold - from a fiery social activist to a rebel who tried to burn down her high school! With wit and charm, THE GRACE LEE PROJECTputs a hilarious spin onthe eternal question "What's in a name?" For more information visit www.gracelee.net.
