Warnings: M (mention of prostitution and drug use). Useful for going deeper into the subject of cultural identity. This film could activate discussion in relation to coming to terms with sexuality, family relationships, culture, disconnect to culture, self-image, stereotypes and how life experiences and environment shape identity. How does hearing first-person narratives influence empathy or a deeper understanding of experiences that may not be similar to your own?
