Gook

In a poignant and powerful portrayal of family, community, and resilience, "Gook" tells the story of two Korean-American brothers who own a struggling women's shoe store in predominantly African-American Paramount, California, on the eve of the 1992 Los Angeles riots. As they navigate their personal dreams, racial tensions, and hardships, an unlikely friendship with an 11-year-old black girl named Kamilla blossoms, only to be tested by tragedy and violence. The film is a heart-wrenching exploration of what it means to belong, to fight for survival, and to find hope in the darkest of times.
