"My Life in China" is a personal film that takes viewers on a journey to rural China where an emotional revelation takes place. Every family has a special story. In America, everyone has a family story of immigration. Everyone, at some point, has had somebody in their family leave their native country behind to search for a better life. How did they hold onto their identity? How did they adapt to their new life? In my case, it’s my Chinese-American story.
Director Kenneth Eng's Bio: 
After graduating from Boston Latin School, America's first public school, KENNETH ENG left for NY in 1994 to study film at the School of Visual Arts. His thesis: "Scratching Windows", a short documentary film about graffiti writers, was broadcast on WNET as part of Reel NY's 4th Season (NY local PBS).  

​In 2007, Ken was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship to launch "My Life In China", a film that retraces his father's epic journey to America in search of a better life.

These short documentaries depict the courage and determination of Asians who have struggled to build their HOME IN AMERICA. From three Japanese women marrying American servicemen after WWII and raising their families in a foreign culture; to a second generation Chinese American facing tragedy in her rural Mississippi town; to a young man who forgoes his family’s Chinatown store to run his own surfboard business in Boston. HOME IN AMERICA boldly deals with questions of assimilation and identity, of overcoming obstacles and not giving up.
