Brings back a ton of memories. It's crazy how the scenes are so similar and the stories so familiar to my upbringing. Always seemed to be drama at the Asian gatherings. I was very lucky to come out of that period and not get into too much trouble. Never knew this movie existed. Thanks for the work in producing it and uploading to youtube.
