In this documentary about the perception of perfection and beauty, three people share the stories of how they got their scars. Created by King Yaw Soon at San Francisco State University in 2016 as part of Campus Movie Fest.
In this colorful and moving animated documentary, we follow Michelle, a young lady as she prepares to fly at the airport. At the TSA line, a mother and her daughter stare at her like deer in the headlights. Michelle responds with a smile and a hello. To her surprise, the mother-daughter runs away from her, screaming “We need to wash our hands now!” Michelle then takes us through her emotional reflection on the bizarre yet embarrassing encounter. It is revealed at the end that Michelle is an Asian-American pharmacist and she is a frontline health worker during this pandemic. Narrated by Michelle herself, this film offers an honest look at fear and connection in an era marked by uncertainty.
