Musical Hakuoki Hijikata-hen 

I hadn’t heard of it either until recently—and yet, it’s one of the highest grossing movies of all time.

"Warrior" is a Bruce Lee written and inspired story that follows a diverse cast of Chinese American characters and does a terrific job of setting the story in 1878 San Francisco - all without pulling their punches with the systemic racism, discrimination, and struggle for power that old and young immigrants that crossed the country at that time had to go through.

The re-living of this historic trial through this film is relevant to current politics and disturbingly enjoyable to watch due to the excellent performances from the ensemble cast. If you like a juicy courtroom drama, this film will definitely scratch that itch in a really chilling manner.

In this short film, writer/director Nikita Hattangady focuses on Jai, a starving artist rooted in the latter category. Though unhoused, he works hard.

As a frequent “the book was better” extoller, this movie was well worth the watch. 

'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' is a franchise built on inclusive storytelling.
