    The Film

    Tie a Yellow Ribbon takes its audience on a journey into the world of Asian American young women. Told through the eyes of Jenny Mason, a Korean adoptee, the story shows a nuanced portrait of the everyday struggles of this under-represented group. Jenny's search for connection and a place to call home in American society is often heartwrenching and ultimately redemptive.
