TPL DVD: Really honest portrayal of the struggles that many minorities face with their identities. Who are we? The lives we lead or the lives our ancestors led? And how much does the past influence our present and future. Liam is caught between 2 separate identities and he feels like he is neither American nor Chinese completely.
I can relate, being neither Korean nor Irish and now being married to a Chinese-Canadian, who am I and where are my roots? Am I this elusive thing called American? Where’s my culture? In this day and age, where we’re all striving to retain our culture and the identities of our ancestors, how much influence does the today and now play in who I am and who I will become?
