Slaying the Dragon: Reloaded

A sequel to the 1988 award winning documentary, "Slaying the Dragon," this film looks at the past 25 years of representation of Asian and Asian American women in U.S. visual media -- from blockbuster films and network television to Asian American cinema and YouTube -- to explore what's changed, what's been recycled, and what we can hope for in the future.

Directed by Elaine Kim, Slaying the Dragon: Reloaded leans on a strong ensemble — Rebeca Ansar, Christine Chai, Sylvia Chan-Malik — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2011.
