Disney+ reunites “Everything Everywhere All at Once” stars Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan and Stephanie Hsu in their brand new fantasy epic “American Born Chinese.”
Based on the graphic novel by Gene Luen Yang, “American Born Chinese” tells the story of Jin Wang (Ben Wang), a Chinese – American teenager who faces challenges brought on by American high school, all the while trying to juggle his immigrant home life.
