The documentary film “The House of Suh” has been playing at film festivals across the country and picking up awards along the way. If you haven’t had the chance to see it, you can catch the broadcast premiere this weekend on Sunday, July 17, 2011 at 10 PM EST on MSNBC. Here’s more about the film:

Obligation, choice and loyalty are the values called into question in this compelling portrait of the Suhs, a Korean-American family whose quest for the American Dream would end in the tragic collapse of their household. Eloquently narrated by the family’s youngest son Andrew, The House of Suh examines the complex dynamics of the Suh family and the values embraced and rejected by Andrew and his sister Catherine, culminating in their planning and execution of a crime that shocked the Korean-American community and ignited a media frenzy. Countering the media coverage, the film instead attempts to reconstruct the elements of a family torn apart, raising questions of whether it is the options we are given or the choices we make that define who we are.

It’s an intriguing look at complex family dynamics and cultural adjustments. If you like shows like 48 Hours Mystery and Crime & Punishment, you’ll like this award-winning documentary.
