The story

Growing up in Columbia, Missouri, director Grace Lee felt that she had a unique name and identity, as there were not many other Asians in her community. When she moved to New York City and Los Angeles, she found her name shared by many other people. In her quest to uncover how the Western name “Grace” became ubiquitous among Asian Americans, the filmmaker speaks with many subjects named Grace Lee, soon learning the name’s Hollywood origins, as well as its Christian roots.
