Well, not to be rude, but we went/go through the same struggles as you. This is important because we don’t want people to simply forget about us and for those of Asian/Pacific Islander descent to forget about…

The film's main story is about the process of finding Chinese Consul’s kidnapped daughter by Detective Carter and Lee and incidents happening along the processes. Throughout the film, it suggested lots of different images about the California. Although there are lots of images that are shown in…
