I thought this film would be a good talking point for this class because it discusses the American dream within an Asian immigrant context. It is about a Korean family who moves to Arkansas in order to make a living for themselves. Let me know what you guys think about it. I am personally very excited to see this on the big screen.

I just saw this trailer on Facebook! I’m also wondering how it will handle the issue of the “American Dream” in this context – will it become the typical rags-to-riches inspiration story, or will it handle the topic with more nuance by addressing how unrealistic it can be?
