The relationship between mothers and daughters has been a central theme of much of the work by Asian-American writer Amy Tan.
The best-selling author, whose books include The Joy Luck Club, The Kitchen God’s Wife and Where The Past Begins, is the focus of a new documentary which not only examines Tan’s relationship with her own mother, but also traces her path to success as she questions her identity and the source of her creativity.
Titled Unintended Memoir, the documentary was directed by the late James Redford - son of Robert Redford - who pulled Tan from what she jokingly calls ”the path to obscurity” to make the film.
