Asian American roots in the Pacific Northwest run deep, and dovetail with the region's rich and complex landscape. Though our contemporary zeitgeist is dark, harsh, uncertain, at times absurd—as many of the films in this program depict—we are also strengthened by our family and community ties, and rooted in our local history and heritage.
This program is only available to view in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington state.
Ren's working class parents Anna and Randall have been saving for a decade for her to attend theatre school. The day after her acceptance letter arrives, Anna dies in a car accident. Ren is faced with an impossible choice: drop out of school and use her hard-earned tuition money to pay for the funeral, or pursue her dreams and leave Mom behind.
