My Name Is Belle is a snapshot of one immigrant's experience through the eyes of a 7-year-old child. Belle Yang, artist and writer, uses herself as the model for the fictional pig-tailed girl in her book HANNAH IS MY NAME.  Belle, as Hannah, arrives from Taiwan and faces change and loneliness - the difficulty of learning a new language, a new culture, even a new name, and of living with tension while waiting for green cards, longing to be citizens.  The film dips into past and present using Belle's storytelling and bright paintings to tell her story.
