The Big Dish: Tiananmen 89 (1998)

Inspired by Martin Scorsese’s short film “The Big Shave” in which a young man blithely shaves himself to death, “The Big Dish” features a young Chinese American girl preparing a meal like no other. The film was made in response to the tenth anniversary of the Chinese government’s brutal crackdown on student demonstrations for democracy in Tiananmen Square in 1989.
