Synopsis
"Although Ny admits that it is very uncomfortable for a traditional Cambodian family to talk about its secrets publicly, Sokly “Don Bonus” Ny allows the audience access to his life during his senior year of high school in this simple, yet powerful video diary. After his father was murdered by Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge regime, Ny escaped to the United States with his mother, grandmother, and siblings. Ny’s family has faced hardship and disappointment in America —Ny struggles to finish high school after failing many classes, his family’s apartment in the projects is a frequent target of vandalism, and his troubled younger brother stands accused of attempted murder. This is not an uplifting story of triumph against the odds, but a harshly honest depiction of a troubled son of an immigrant family in crisis" Quoting the synopsis from ExEAS
