'Shang-Chi' Delivers Epic Superhero Action and Positive Asian Representation
Marvel’s first Asian superhero film, 'Shang-Chi', deserves praise for balancing epic superhero action, a heartfelt family plot, and positive Asian representation.

The movie depicts a Serbian choir, The Singing Women of Pozega, a group of enthusiastic elderly women full of life who share their daily routine with us. Through poetic pictures, seasoned with a lot of humour, we learn about their views on love, joy as well as the ephemerality of life.
