About the Project
One man. Two worlds. One sack of rice versus an empire of burgers.
This is a seventy-year odyssey based on a true story. It is a journey born in the fire of war-torn Asia, and now ended in the high-stakes power centers of California. Using a visceral blend of ancestral memory and haunting reality, we trace the footsteps of a man who arrived with nothing but a hundred-dollar bill and a hunger to belong, eventually conquering the most iconic symbol of American capitalism.
This is more than one man’s biography; it is a vessel for a generation’s heavy memories—stories of sacrifice and silence that have been left untold for too long.
