Centering API Narratives in the Multiverse: Screening - Turning Red

Join us for the next three weeks as we screen films centered on the API Diasporic experience and host a dialogue session about API mental health.
Young actress Rosalie Chiang lends her voice to Mei Lee, a 13-year-old who suddenly “poofs” into a giant red panda when she gets too excited (which is practically ALWAYS). Sandra Oh voices Mei Lee’s protective, if not slightly overbearing mother, Ming, who is never far from her daughter—an unfortunate reality for the teenager.
