...that television movie Slaying the Dragon, directed by Barbara Gee.
For those of you who don't know,
Here is where the IMDB listing is, but Amazon DVD listings seem to be all for addiction treatments... not really what I had in mind.

Keep on Wondering...
What are the connections between social and historical forces and the representations we see?
Why is yellowface still acceptable? When and how did yellowface turn into whitewashing?
How do these representations create and/or perpetuate stereotypes that are present in our world? What is the impact?
I hear it's on its way courtesy of the L-W library (LISSA!!) Let's believe it when we see it.
