With just one week left until the premiere of Fresh Off the Boat, ABC has launched a social media campaign, inviting the audience to share their “fresh off the boat” stories of when they have felt a little out of place.
To kick off the campaign, Fresh Off the Boat creators Eddie Huang, Nahnatchka Khan and Melvin Mar shared their stories.
