The film directed by Taggart Siegel specifically deals with racism that Indochinese people were facing and their brief life sketches in Rockford. There have been several attacks against Indochinese community by setting up pipe bombs in Buddhist temple, which was a place where the refugees gathered. The white people did not like Asians mainly because they believed that their jobs were taken away because of the Asians, yet government and church organizations were supporting them.

two different refugees yet neither Asians nor other religious group of people try to persuade their beliefs, yet they continue to pursue the interactions.
The attacks on Asian in Buddhist temple could have been prevented if there existed just a little bit of understanding between two communities. This film makes you think about how thinking of foreigners as a threat could be solved by understanding more of each other’s background through communication and interaction.
