Sean Wang: How his film Dìdi puts a spin on the classic coming-of-age story

Q with Tom Power

Sean Wang is an Oscar-nominated filmmaker who released his debut feature film, “Dìdi,” earlier this year. It’s a coming-of-age story in the tradition of movies like “Stand by Me,” but told from the perspective of a young Asian American boy in Northern California. Sean talks to guest host Talia Schlanger about the film, and what he learned about himself and his immigrant mom while making it.
