In a race against time, an ailing woman is stricken by the discovery of her teenage son’s violent obsessions and must go to great lengths to protect him, and possibly others, in this searing portrait of a Chinese American family. Inspired by true events, Rosemead marks the feature directorial debut of acclaimed cinematographer Eric Lin, and showcases a transformative, tour-de-force performance by Lucy Liu.
Inspired by an award-winning Los Angeles Times article, the film presents a heart-wrenching story about love: a son’s love for his parents, a mother’s love for her son, and how far she’ll go to protect him – even from himself.
Lucy Liu will receive the Precious Gem Award and engage in a Q&A session post-screening of the film.
