The
time is 1968 and history is changing as the United States experiences
the height of the Vietnam War, Civil Rights Movement and Women's Liberation.
Across the nation, young Orientals are coming into consciousness over
their ethnic identities and Asian America is born. But in San Francisco,
Eiko Hanabi's burden of gender and tradition still keeps her from expressing
her true strength and spirit. Loosely based on Henrik Ibsen's "Hedda
Gabler," the author of Sisters Matsumoto and A Song
For A Nisei Fisherman explores issues of self-determination and
yellow power.
