The Search For General Tso
This documentary was one of my favorites that I watched. The film answered every question that I had once wondered about this iconic meal. I once watched a short about Asian food and heard that the plate we know as General Tso's is unrecognizable to the original chef. I was super excited to see that at CIFF there was a film that investigated the true story. Not only that the story was investigated in depth. So many angles of the dish were brought to light, from the history to the innovations made. It was really interesting to see that a film makers take on the tale. The way the documentary was done was hip, and flowed very well. It was not only comical but very informative. I gave it a 5 out of 5.
