Slaying The Dragon:Reloaded 는 우리 UCBerkeley에 Asian American Studies의 교수직을 맡고 계신 Elaine Kim의 작품이다. 헐리우드 영화에 재현된 아시안 아메리칸 여성의 과거와 현재 모습을 다룬 다큐멘터리 영화다. 그녀의 차분하고 따뜻한 나레이션, 다양한 여성 감독들과 관련 학자들의 목소리를 통해 아시안아메리칸 여성들의 이야기를 풀어나간다. 이 영화는 4월에 열릴 서울 여성 국제 영화제에도 출품이 예정되어 있다. 미국내에서 뿐만 아니라 헐리우드에 비춰진 아시안 여배우들의 모습에 만족하지 못했었던 모든이들에게 좋은 귀감이될 것이다.이 작품은, 헐리우드의 첫 아시안 여배우으로 기억되는 Amy Wong을 재조명하는 영화 Anna Amy Wong in Her Own Words (by Yunah Hong) 와 함께 만나 볼 수 있다.
