Staff Pick: Tigertail

Development Officer Stephanie Gozali is back with our latest Coolidge Staff Pick, highlighting Alan Yang's Tigertail.

“It's a beautiful new drama of an Asian-American immigrant reflecting on a lost love of his youth, his journey from Taiwan to America, and how both experiences have impacted his relationship with his estranged daughter.” Watch the intro below, and then sit down to watch the film, which is streaming on Netflix.
