"Nǎi Nai and Wài Pó (Grandma & Grandma)" with Sean Wang

Top Docs: Award-Winning Documentary Filmmakers

Continuing our coverage of Academy Award-nominated shorts, Mike speaks with Sean Wang about his loving tribute to his grandmothers. As he describes the film: “Nǎi Nai is my grandma. Wài Pó is my grandma. Together they are a grandma super team that dances, stretches, and farts their sorrows away.” Despite its seeming insularity, and its general mood of fun and mischief, the film opens up to become as well a profound meditation on mortality.

You can watch “Nǎi Nai & Wài Pó (Grandma & Grandma)” on Disney+.
