Overview
Blink follows a first-generation Chinese American college student named Steven, who finds himself standing up for what he believes in while going through 2020 with his father. Steven illustrates the physical and mental toll that the events of 2020 had on many people within the Asian American community. These experiences are symbolized through Steven's "blinks" as he recounts the year's significant events, including rising Anti-Asian hate, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
