For you film buffs out there, especially those looking for less mainstream fare, I highly recommend Children of Invention, directed by Tze Chun.
The film is about a single mother from Hong Kong and her two children who are having a hard time of it. Their house is foreclosed on, they end up squatting illegally in a model condo, and the mother, Elaine Cheng (played by Cindy Cheung), after having been scammed by one multi-level marketing (MLM) company, continues to chase down the dream of hitting it big with another MLM. To tell you more would spoil the film for you.
I will tell you that the film is on topic for this blog. Check it out if you get the chance. I caught it on www.hulu.com.
