- Synopsis
- What is the meaning of a “name?” Asian immigrant families living in America (Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese) are the subjects of this documentary. This documentary exposes and contemplates the constant struggle for identity that Asians confront everyday with fundamental issues such as naming conventions between generations, American perceptions of Asians with American names, and tensions between the motherland and America.
- Director's Note
- "Naming Me" is an effort to contemplate the identity and immigrants in a multicultural society through their names. The centerpiece of this documentary will be the names of the immigrants, and what those names mean to them.
