"In 1918, businessman Eng Tieng-Bin returns to his polygamous Chinese household after three years working abroad in the Philippines. As he seeks to introduce Western ways and a strange new religion ~ Christianity ~ to his traditional family, Tieng-Bin sets off a dangerous power struggle between his three wives, witnessed through the eyes of his favorite daughter: inspired by his own family history, David Henry Hwangs's Golden Child directed by Leigh Silverman explores the often-painful process through which change comes to people and cultures."
