Documentary
Prodigal Korea is a documentary that highlights the cultural divide between the first and second-generation Korean-Americans, particularly in the context of the church. The film showcases the struggles of the second-generation Koreans as they attempt to navigate the cultural expectations of their parents and their own identity crisis as Americans. The documentary features interviews with second-generation Korean-Americans who share their stories of growing up in a culturally traditional Korean family in America. They speak about their struggles to balance the expectations of their parents, who often hold onto traditional Korean values, and their own desire to assimilate and become more American.
