Film - "The Killing of a Chinese Cookie"

"For nearly a century, people have turned to this prophetic dessert for advice, inspiration and even winning lottery combinations. While the fortune cookie has been a source of fascination, and a Chinese cuisine staple in North America, it still remains nearly nonexistent in China. This film examines the heated debate over the true origin of the fortune cookie, the mixing of western and eastern cultures that produced it and the cookie’s rise from a simple pastry to a pop culture phenomenon."
