American Flag

"Absolutely American"

True love prevails when we set aside our prejudice. A funny Romantic Comedy feature film with action.

A humorous plea for tolerance in America:

A zany, whimsical, lighthearted Chinese American Peter, dealing with his own problems encounters discrimination, where cultures clash with Nancy's Caucasian American family and with loving hearts hiding an embarrassing secret, discovers his American roots, reveals his ancestor's buried American History, wins with nonviolence against racial bigotry and surly antagonists and finds love on the way.

People in general stereotype and discriminate against each other. This coming of age film is about adjusting to discriminations, resolving violence with non-violence, and finding love on the way. It has a uniquely funny and smart way of showing audience that nobody can win with war, only with love and peace.
