About

Eli (Chon) and Daniel (So) are two Korean American brothers that run their late father's shoe store in a predominantly African American community of Los Angeles. These two brothers strike up a unique and unlikely friendship with an 11-year-old African American girl, Kamilla (Baker). As Daniel dreams of becoming a recording artist and Eli struggles to keep the store afloat, racial tensions build to a breaking point in L.A. as the "infamous" L.A. Riots break out.

    Reviews

    "This sophomore feature exemplifies the grunge and angst-ridden energy of the 90s, with a humorous streak as frank as its racially charged title."
    Leah Pickett Chicago Reader
    "Gook rises above message-movie mediocrity, enjoying its characters too much to use them as political mouthpieces."
    John DeFore, The Hollywood Reporter
    "Burns with a young artist's raw intensity."
    Jason Bailey, Flavorwire
