With fifty film clips spanning a century on the silver screen, Adachi chronicles the experiences of Asian men in American cinema. From ethnic stereotypes to the limited roles available to talented Asian actors, this look at a highly visible form of racism reveals just how much damage can be done by the image making machine in Hollywood. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Michael Ordoņa, Los Angeles Times
Entertaining, its concerns are current and it may empower viewers in its target community.
-
Dennis Harvey, Variety

-
Phil Hall, Film Threat
Too sloppy to make any genuine impact.
