Filmmaker Lulu Wang came to international attention in 2019 with The Farewell which also caught the eye of Nicole Kidman. Kidman then approached Lulu to bring a best-selling novel to the small screen. The result is Expats, showing on Amazon Prime, about the lives of women in Hong Kong - both the super rich and their many "helpers". Lulu Wang is coming to Auckland for the Big Screen Symposium next month.
