Abstract:

"A hilarious drama about a Korean immigrant family in New York city, whose members each have very different ideas about what life should be like in their adopted homeland. The story revolves around the conflict between a hard-working, religious mother and her two grown-up children -- Judy, an aspiring actress who is encouraged by her alter ego Mae East, and her younger brother Jimmy, a high school dropout with a fondness for fast cars. Playing with drama and musical comedy conventions, Be Good My Children raises issues affecting many immigrant communities including racism, sexism and representation of Asian Americans in mainstream media."
