Description
Tie A Yellow Ribbon is an understated, yet compelling film about a Korean adoptee named Jenny Mason who is haunted by a troubling family secret. Raised by a white family in the Midwest, she is exiled by her family to live a life of aimlessly roaming the streets of New York City serially dating white men.

Raised in the predominately white Midwest, she is both fascinated and repulsed by other Asian Americans whom she meets. Searching for something familiar, she yearns of things that remind her of home. Just when Jenny thinks she finds love and happiness with an Asian American boyfriend, a figure from her past appears and forever shatters her life.

Making her feature debut, writer-director Joy Dietrich, also a Korean adoptee, introduces audiences to the world of Asian American young women and delicately addresses the abnormally high rates of depression and suicide among Asian American girls, creating a work great compassion and poetic beauty.

Preceded by the music video 'Chase' by Kiyoshi Graves
