Cambodian American by Spencer Nakasako

Here’s another short from the Interpretations Film Initiative. Emmy-award winning filmmaker Spencer Nakasako delivers yet another perspective off the same script. This time it’s more like a documentary about his long journey working with Southeast Asian kids in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood. Watching the piece you begin to reflect on whether future generations appreciate what past generations sacrificed for them. In this short, it’s the street life in San Francisco vs the killing fields of Cambodia.
