“Why can’t I be both?
Both British and Asian?
Both are important, both are beautiful, both are a part of who I am”.
A migrant boy in search of identity; born in Manila, raised in England.
Faced with the challenges of the ‘model minority’ trope, East Asian stereotypes and the migrant experience of survival and sacrifice of a heritage in order to adopt another culture and identity, we follow his unique journey into adulthood.
Will his search between his Asian-ness and Britishness lead to acceptance and a place he can call home?
This story is a celebration of two cultures, which merge into one.
