The Joy Luck Clubwas the first Hollywood movie to feature an all-Asian cast and celebrated its 30th anniversary in September. The 1993 film is set in San Francisco, where four Chinese-American women, along with their Chinese immigrant mothers, gather to play Mahjong and swap stories that are full of happiness, hardship and the culture clashes that arise between generations."
Sherry Cola, who starred inJoy Rideand presented members ofThe Joy Luck Clubcast with the Gold Generation Award at the Gold House Gold Gala in May, told PEOPLE the film was a “unicorn” when it was released.
“I feel like there was such a lack of representation for us that when we saw it, we held on tight andJoy Luck Clubis one of those things that gave us hope, made the dream feel feasible,” Cola told PEOPLE. “So being able to [present] them that honor is just, I still have chills.”
