"Americanized" Trailer
Description :
Growing up in Oakland’s hip-hop culture, Eng struggles with her Chinese American identity. To her high school basketball team, she’s just that girl who sits on the bench, but to the Asian kids she’s "Americanized". As her sophomore year of high school comes to an end, Eng tries to find a sense of belonging within the two worlds that don't accept her.
