Overview
Coming out to family is difficult for any LGBTQ+ person, but if you're from a traditional Chinese family, it's even harder. When Chinese filmmaker Hao Wu discovered he was gay, he traveled to America to live a new life. In 2019, after deciding to have children with his partner Eric, Wu decided to document his family as they came to accept his lifestyle.
Self-directed and produced by Wu, All In My Family explores how the modern world challenges the beliefs of Wu's traditional Chinese family, through candid footage and interviews with family members.
