A tragic tale of an Asian youth's gang life in South East Los Angeles, set during the mid 80's to the early 90s.
Acting
David Huynh's debut — devastating, lived-in, never showy.
Direction
Chung shoots LA like a memory already fading.
Writing
Dialogue that hurts: 'without them we're nothing' actually *means* it.
Director
Juwan Chung
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
One of the few American films centered on Vietnamese-American gang culture, shot in actual East LA locations with real community members as extras.
Director Juwan Chung was only 22 when he made this, funding it through credit cards and family loans after studios passed because 'Asian leads don't sell.'
