Author Jenny Han on the 'abundance' of an all-Asian film

Season 2018 Episode 311 | 4m 15s

It's one of the hits of the summer, a romantic comedy set in Singapore--but it's generating special attention for its casting. “Crazy Rich Asians” is the first major studio film with an all-Asian cast since “The Joy Luck Club,” released 25 years ago. Jeffrey Brown speaks with "To All the Boys I've Loved Before" author Jenny Han about how it feels to see greater ethnic representation on screen.
