- Summary:
- Filmmaker Michael Cho investigates his own family history and tragedy as he explores the Black/Korean conflict in the inner city as illuminated by the Los Angeles uprisings of 1992. The murder of his uncle in Detroit forces Cho to take a close look at his family's own experiences as Korean American merchants. In L.A., he captures the stories of everyday Korean and African Americans as they shop in the mall. Returning to his hometown of Detroit, Cho lets local community members and relatives tell their own stories about race relations - a Detroit poet, an Amerasian brother and sister, and the daughter of the slain uncle. Another America is revealed, one where dreams have fallen short and where this country's racism and violence continue unchecked.
