Independent Visions: American Sons

An intimate and disturbing exploration of how growing up Asian American (Chinese, Korean, Filipino and Japanese,) prejudice, bigotry and violence shape the lives of four men. Mixing documentary and drama, each actor tells his story based upon a series of interviews of API men across the country, shattering the model minority myth, and exploring the deep psychological damage that racism does over generations. Directed by Steven Okazaki, 2009, 28 minutes.
