I came across this 25 minute documentary I think I should share. It's called "Hollywood Harems" produced and written by Tania Kamal-Eldin. It deals with Hollywood's depictions of Orientalism and women in film from the 1920s to 1980s.
EDIT: "Slaying the Dragon" and "The Slanted Screen" are each one hour video documentaries on Asian Americans in the Hollywood film industry. The former is an older video compared to the latter. I enjoyed these two very much. "The Slanted Screen" is really one of the only documentaries I've seen where after discussing the issues of their topic, they actually present possible solutions.
Here's a youtube of "The Slanted Screen". I think this is an updated version while I just saw the 2006 DVD copy today. PLEASE ENJOY!
