00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:03.280
Is After Yang both
thought-provoking

00:00:03.280 --> 00:00:04.320
and tween-friendly?

00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:06.320
[Music plays]

00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:08.400
"Did Yang want to
be human?"

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:10.480
"That's such a human
thing to ask, isn't it?"

00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:12.720
Yep. And a whole
lot more.

00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:13.840
[Door opens]

00:00:13.840 --> 00:00:16.640
This touching family
drama explores a future

00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:19.040
in which cross-racial
parents use an android

00:00:19.040 --> 00:00:21.600
as an older sibling for
their adopted child.

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:22.640
"What happened
to Yang?"

00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:24.720
"I don't know. He shut
down last night; he

00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:25.440
won't restart."

00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:27.920
Featuring a White dad
and a Black mom with

00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:30.400
a Chinese daughter, the
film dives deep into

00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:32.240
themes of race and
ethnicity.

00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:34.720
It also has plenty to
say about empathy,

00:00:34.720 --> 00:00:37.280
compassion, and
curiosity, encouraging

00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:39.760
humans to look beyond
the superficial and think

00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:41.760
about what true
connection means.

00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:43.920
"I wish I had a
real memory."

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:47.120
As for iffy stuff, expect
a few uses of the S-word

00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:49.440
and other potentially
offensive language, but

00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:50.560
nothing too intense.

Common Sense says After
Yang is fine for kids 10 and

00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.800
up, and we've named it
a Common Sense selection.
