Episode Details

Slanted is a sci-fi horror satire that explores the pressures of fitting in, following a Chinese American teenager named Joan who undergoes a controversial surgery to erase her Asian features and blend in. Directed by Amy Wang, the film stars Shirley Chen and Mckenna Grace, who seamlessly portray Joan before and after the transformation. The movie captures real struggles for immigrant kids, including microaggressions, body image issues, and the pull between cultures. As Joan navigates her new identity, she faces consequences and leans on familiar immigrant tropes. The film opens in limited release on March thirteenth, rated R for language, some sex, teen drug use, and bloody images.
