Astonishing Little Feet reimagines a defining moment in East Asian American history when sixteen-year-old Afong Moy, the first documented Chinese woman to arrive in the United States (and likely North America), was brought to New York by merchants to advertise their Chinese import business. The film investigates the audience's own possible desire to behold something as foreign as her small feet and subverts the concept of body horror by asking the audience to question who gets to decide what is horrific and why.
