Synopsis by Maggie Sadler

In Bad Axe, Michigan, an Asian American family struggles to live an ordinary life while managing their small restaurant. Yet as the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic plunge the nation into turmoil, the family must contend with more than just a decline in their livelihood as racism abounds in their rural community. The documentary features perspectives from Chun Siev and Jaclyn Siev.
