A daughter of Korean immigrants, Hyeseung Song spends her earliest years in the cane fields of Texas where her loyalties are divided between a restless father in search of big money, and a beautiful yet domineering mother whose resentments about her own life compromises her relationship with her daughter. With her parents at constant odds, Song learns more words in Korean for hatred than for love. Unflinching and lyrical, 'Docile' is one woman's story of subverting the model minority myth, contending with mental illness and finding her self-worth by looking within.
