"Our understanding of what a Chinese immigrant woman would be is exactly what we see at the beginning of the film [Meditation Park]. Then, it gets broken down, and so our expectations as an audience get turned on their head—and then we're off to the races. If we can identify her as a hero, then can't we all be heroes?"

Cooper, Julia. "Indie director Mina Shum's Meditation Park asks: 'Can't we all be heroes?'; A big movie about a tiny woman, Shum's new film follows a different kind of lead: A Chinese immigrant who learns her husband of 40 years has been unfaithful."
