Gook
Directed by Justin Chon
Produced by Tunnel Post, Datari Turner Productions
A character-driven drama about an unlikely cross-racial family forged through crisis, grounded in the 1992 L.A. riots and the search for meaning amid economic struggle and social upheaval.
Eli and Daniel, two Korean American brothers who own a struggling women's shoe store, have an unlikely friendship with 11-year-old Kamilla. On the first day of the 1992 L.A. riots, the trio must defend their store—and contemplate the meaning of family, their personal dreams and the future.
