DAUGHTER explores my mother’s pain and love for her transgender daughter (my sister). I examine the perspective of my mother, who may not understand my sister in the same way that I do, but cares for her deeply. The film celebrates transgender resistance, gender non-normativity, and the strength of an immigrant family across boundaries.

At UCLA, my media praxis was guided by Renee Tajima-Pena, an Asian American Studies professor who produced and directed films such as Who Killed Vincent Chin? And No Más Bebés.
