Nomadland

We continue our catch-up of this year's Oscar nominated (and Asian American associated) films with Nomadland, written, directed, and edited by Chloe Zhao. We dive into Zhao's beautiful depiction of a community of American "nomads" who live on the road in the fringes of capitalism, traveling the country and working seasonal jobs to get by. What's Popping? - The Broken Earth Trilogy, The Great Pottery Throw Down, Top Chef---The Asian American community is going through a time of collective grief following a year of rising racial tensions and fear, punctuated by this week’s tragic murders in Atlanta.
