    Good short film. Good acting. Great pace--never got bored. Nice to have some aknowledgement to the Filipino community. I'm a Stocktonian, but not a TRUE one. In 1964, I was born at San Joaquin General Hospital, in a little town called, French Camp, about 5 miles south of City Hall. Raised on Grant Street, I was able to enjoy downtown in the 1970's. The Cross-Town freeway, took out most of, "Little Manila." Seen The Fox sign, now The Bob Hope Theatre, really caught my attention. Also, the Stockton Record, on the table brought some nice detail to the film. All of the posters of the famous boxer, "Little Joe," have been taken down. The last standing monument is the, "Filipino Center." Thanks to all who worked on this project.

    Great acting…great writing. The dialectical banter like walking amidst political landmines buried in a soil of universal human connection that sometimes provides a safe path to walk along and sometimes hides the danger beneath.
    I was married to someone whose parents came to US in their 20s and I never knew about that war nor the Watsonville race riots (can we please start calling them ethnic riots?). I noticed his family had no tolerance for anything negative and when something hard was brought up which was rare, such as his mother recalling her father ducking into the bushes and leaving her on the road when Japanese were shooting, they laughed. I came from tough backround in US which i too was ignoring so I also “looked only on the sunny side” but was older and changing a little bit. My family didn’t talk about the hardships the Irish suffered; i only found out later when reading Frank McCourt’s books. Overall i don’t think the Irish were treated as badly as some other ethnicities and less recently also. Nonethelesss, generational PTSD and the cycle of violence when victimized become perpetrators is saturated in so many families about which nothing is said of the roots.

      Because some people have no idea about the things that have happened in the past and caused immense harm. People need to know each other's history to truly understand and move forward. Just saying "try harder to get along" brushes past all the past traumas that have shaped what our society looks like today. We cannot move past hate until everyone sees and understand what hate really does to people.

      Your comment shows your ignorance. This isn't just about racism, it's about history, humanity and we, as humans, tend to treat those we don't, and sometimes refuse, to understand. Unfortunately, this still goes on today. People of certain races are subjected to hatred, but when they strike or protest, they are the 'bad guys'. So perhaps open your eyes and see where you, yourself fit in to the picture rather than just complaining about a video you didn't even have to watch.

      Really? Have you looked at virtually every position of power and wealth in this country? White. Male. Racism is about enforcing a system of power in which an advantaged majority enforces it's dominance over a disadvantaged minority. That simply isn't happening in America today. Virtually all wealth and power is in the hands of whites, especially wealthy whites.
