My film is based on the true story of my father and his time in America as a foreign exchange student from South Vietnam. Now turning 77, I made this as a tribute to his grand life and as a thank-you gift for being the best father anyone could ask for.

The story of him and his peers has never been told before, and I hope that it portrays the Vietnamese people as something more than victims of trauma. This is the first film ever made about Vietnamese immigrants in the United States before the Vietnam War ended in 1975.
