'Seeking Asian Female' Explores Phenomenon of Yellow Fever - ABC News
All her life Debbie Lum, a second-generation Chinese-American filmmaker, has been hounded by men with "yellow fever" -- usually, but not always, white men with a fetish for Asian women.
So she set out to expose the men who only see the stereotypical domestic, submissive and highly sexual creature, and not the person.
In her first feature-length film, "Seeking Asian Female," which airs tonight at 10 p.m. ET on PBS's "Independent Lens," Lum gets drawn into the complicated relationship of a 60-year-old white man and his 30-year-old mail-order bride.
