About this Video
How To Stop Being Chinese is an exploration into the importance of recognizing one’s own cultural heritage. In the film, a shadowy book teaches three tragic heroines about the ties that bind them in blood to over 4,000 years of ancestral heritage. Each step of the book’s instructions dares its readers to break a traditional superstition in order to escape their Chinese culture—but the unforeseen consequences are deadly.
