I just happened upon this title tonight on Netflix. I have a vague memory of the book "Joy Luck Club," that I'd remembered seeing at #1 on the best sellers list some time ago, and love biographies, so I decided to give it a watch.
It was a fascinating study of her life, growing up as an Asian-American, along with all of its cultural and family issues. She went on to break female Asian writer barriers, when her first book above soared to the top of the best sellers list. It was very riveting to hear about the qualities of a writer from her point of view.
I was so impressed by this documentary that I now want to read "The Joy Luck Club," and perhaps some of her later works. A great film for any biography buff.
