In this witty, curious, and warm-hearted personal journey, Chan explores her aunt’s life and career in more than fifty films and Tv series.

DIRECTORS: Sarah Tadayon, Dave Frazier After a chance appearance on a popular Tai- wanese talk show, Chinese-Iranian-American actress Sarah Tadayon decides to pursue her dreams in Asia.
