Kim, adapted from the novel by Amy Tan
Directed by Jon Lawrence Rivera
A best-selling novel and also a major motion picture. Family bonds
transcend history as four young Chinese American women and their
Chinese-born mothers struggle to understand each other. When the
children's present lives begin to mirror their parent's past
accomplishments and failures, a seemingly uncrossable divide grows into
a bridge as generation unite to form THE JOY LUCK CLUB.
