This month’s film is The Grace Lee Project (68 min.). When Korean-American filmmaker Grace Lee was growing up in Columbia, she was the only Grace Lee she knew. Once she left Missouri however, everyone she met seemed to know another “Grace Lee.” But why did people assume that all Grace Lees were reserved, dutiful, piano-playing overachievers? The film plunges into a funny, highly unscientific investigation into all those Grace Lees who break the mold–from a fiery social activist to a rebel who tried to burn down her high school. This movie played at the 2006 True False Film Fest. Check out the trailer below:
