Soul of a Nation: The New Face of Hollywood: A Soul of a Nation Presentation airs Friday May 26, 2023 on ABC
A special in honor of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Following the historic Oscars® sweep of “Everything, Everywhere, All at Once,” a blockbuster multiverse film about the struggles of a Chinese American immigrant family, a one-hour primetime special explores the rise of Asians in Hollywood. Michelle Yeoh, the first Asian woman to win an Oscar® for Best Actress, and Ke Huy Quan, a former child star who won Best Supporting Actor after a 20-year hiatus from acting, are interviewed by “Nightline” co-anchor Juju Chang. Intimate interviews with Yeoh and Quan by Chang detail their lives, the highs and lows of fame, the challenges faced by Asian actors in Hollywood, and the widespread celebration of their Oscar wins among Asian Americans.
With interviews from Anna Wong, the niece and namesake of the first Chinese American film star Anna May Wong, and Nancy Kwan, who shot to fame in the ’60s, the special will also take an unfiltered look at the complicated history of Asians in Hollywood, including discrimination, bias, and problematic portrayals, with legendary performer James Hong, one of the most prolific Asian American actors of all time.
