American Sons

AMERICAN SONS is a provocative examination of how racism shapes the lives of Asian American men. A simple but compelling performance piece featuring four of the country's best Asian American actors, AMERICAN SONS is a challenging exploration of how prejudice, bigotry and violence twists and demeans individual lives.

Directed by Steven Okazaki, American Sons leans on a strong ensemble — Yuji Okumoto, Kelvin Han Yee, Lane Nishikawa — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1994.
