Chinese Take Away
This is a true story of performer / writer, Anna Yen (formerly from Tasmania), who is an Australian born woman with Chinese parents.
She is seeking to understand a family tragedy and as she does so, unravels stories about her grandmother, her mother and herself.
The film moves from China in the early 1900s, through Hong Kong in the 30s, suburban Sydney in the 60s, and into the present day.
Chinese Take Away tells a deeply personal story of strength, loss and transformation that resonates universally.
