GOLD DIGGERS

Sanjena Sathian
As we look at how we interact with one another and how harmful perceptions can be, Gold Diggers focuses on the model minority myth and its intersectionality in immingrant identity, community and the other side of ambition.
We meet Neil Narayan, a second generation teenager during the Bush-era in an Atlanta suburb who has yet to find his way. He feels the pressure of the expectations that his family as well as his Asian American community has of him. He tries to go after the kind of success that he knows his family want for him; however, he's more interested in Anita Dayal who lives in his neighborhood.
He learns that she is in possession of a storied alchemical potion derived from stolen gold. This "lemonade" has the ability to obtain the ambition of the gold's original owner. He realizes that this could be his chance. His effort to achieve this results in tragedy for his community. Years later, he resides in the Bay Area and still feels the weight of expectations outside of himself by his community. He believes that he may need to take the lemonade one more time regardless of the cost.
