Elodie Yung on power of storytelling in shaping perspectives on undocumented immigrants in ‘The Cleaning Lady’

The narrative of the Fox drama series “The Cleaning Lady,” focusing on the complex story of an undocumented immigrant in the U.S., has taken on a poignant resonance to the ongoing national dialogue surrounding immigration issues. In the stakes of Season 3, Cambodian doctor Thony De La Rosa (portrayed Elodie Yung), who came to the U.S. for a medical treatment to save her ailing son, now finds herself in deeper association with a new dangerous drug cartel. The events follow the disappearance of her partner-in-crime Arman (Adan Canto) and the deportation of her Filipino sister-in-law, Fiona (Martha Millan), to the Philippines.
