The Donut King Trailer #1 (2020) | Movieclips Indie

[@sarahl9398]

Was recommended this and watched it on my domestic flight to Austin tonight. Really worth the watch, both inspiring and sobering, esp the fall of Cambodia then what happened to Ted eventually.

[@richiele]

Very inspiring and so well made! Really enjoyed this 👍👍👍

[@fisabilillah_only7192]

Beautiful! Such a powerful documentary! I watched it on PBS a couple of hours ago, and now I’m here! I wish I could watch it again!

[@karaokeandrandomclips]

It's on Kanopy

[@JoeyNgoy]

Always inspiring when I watch this. Go Ngoy's 🙌

[@jaymichelle8357]

This looks so interesting I can’t wait to watch it

[@TheAsiaboy18]

incredibles story. It's not how you start, it's how you finish. I'm glad he helps many Cambodians.

[@buyerofsorts]

Yeah and he helped many of them right out of their life savings as well....

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

As a man who likes donuts, I'm curious about this.

[@edwardbliss8931]

This was a great documentary. A must watch.

[@KyCandicee]

Just read an article on his story, seriously crazy. Can't wait to see this

[@lekycer]

Highly recommended! Incredible!

[@2nd_snideelf144]

Incredible success story!

[@peartreemall2420]

Just watched this last night! I was mesmerized!

[@altar7885]

Beautiful, surprising and inspiring.

[@whoisyouranime]

I hope Hollywood makes a movie out of him. I think Ken Jeong would make a great Ted Ngoy. And yes, I'm well aware that Ken Jeong is Korean American but I think he'd fit as Ted.

[@scorpkn6567]

This looks good

Makes me want donuts! 😋🍩

[@ferdinando14]

Great trailer!!

[@acel2413]

That's my great uncle. Unfortunately, he gambled and we lost a lot of stores.

[@Anon54387]

That's most unfortunate. To think that someone can work that hard, build such a business, earn that much wealth and still have something missing and still feel unfulfilled that they turn to gambling. And to affect so many including family members over it.

[@KCTran]

​@@Anon54387He was targeted by gambling industry. Like the drug pushers, they hunt down the big whales and get you addicted. The industry is so powerful even those making this film can not point the finger at the gambling industry. When my father passed away, some people kept trying to invite my mother to the casinos. Like drug pushers, they target you.

I miss those donut shops.

Amazing 👏

Someone please help me find who’s beat is in this movie towards the end around 1:19 mark please!!!!

[@abdurefidak136]

I cried twice watching this It was beautiful 💞

[@buyerofsorts]

Was the part where he ripped people off out of their life savings beautiful as well?

[@philosopher2king]

How did he rip them off? The whole point was he used his stores as collateral and the people he borrowed from got ownership after he failed to pay.

[@buyerofsorts]

@@philosopher2king Did you not watch and pay attention? The guy would get money from people and just gamble it away and they got nothing.

[@philosopher2king]

@@buyerofsorts Did YOU watch it? He kept losing his branches because he'd put them as collateral to the loans he was getting from his employees. Quit doing drugs! 😊

[@buyerofsorts]

@@philosopher2king I'm referring to the part where it was stated that would take large cash down payments from Cambodian people only to take the money and go to the casinos and blow it. Something you clearly missed. And you tell me to quit doing drugs....

[@JeffLeighton1]

Great movie

[@karazz060884]

wow what a memory

[@bogard84]

Loved it! I read up on Uncle Ted in old newspaper clippings after researching the donut shop industry in Santa Clara, CA some time in the early twenty hundreds. He is THE prime example that in America you can BE something even if you had nothing. Anyone can be like Uncle Ted. This movie was also very critical of the Communist movement that has murdered hundreds of millions all over the world and especially so in Cambodia. Learn from Uncle Ted and you'll be successful too!

[@buyerofsorts]

Don't forget how Uncle Ted destroyed lives by ripping people off out of their life savings.

[@sowishful]

Tbh, it was imperialist USA to bomb Cambodia’s country side during the Vietnamese war that strengthened the communist movement in Cambodia. You can’t leave already poor people homeless then expect them to be on your side.

[@bogard84]

It really fits and grabs my attention.

[@buyerofsorts]

It's nice to see how happy this man is after completely destroying peoples lives by ripping them off out of their life savings only to gamble it all away.

[@mattfox6263]

The documentary barely scratched a surface about how scum bag this guy was. They tried to paint a pretty picture cause it would really make you never buy a doughnut again.

[@buyerofsorts]

@@mattfox6263 Yeah, the guy should be in prison, not smiling all happy for a documentary that he undoubtedly got paid for.

[@philosopher2king]

How so? He borrowed against his own franchises from his lessees, which is how he ended up losing them. I also missed the part where y'all sponsored 100s of Cambodian refugees in the '70s come to the US like Ted did.

[@visalsngg]

@@mattfox6263 i really wanna read more about this. do you know any articles or videos that dive deep into the subject?

[@bethclark9319]

Just finished watching this on Hulu. I felt the same way; he gambled away many Cambodian's savings, lost their stores, and beat and cheated on his wife. He started out as a hero and ended up being a zero. This documentary was just plain sad. Especially when his own children said their mother went through a lot. The woman who lost her savings. Very sad.

@@iitvoiiPardon my ignorance but which immigrants built America?

[@boo2564]

@@BustBackTv all of them

[@philosopher2king]

Slave labor, European, Asian and Latin American skill. Carnegie, Tesla, Marconi, Bell, Gonzales Camarena, Ching Wan Tang, Lewis Howard Latimer. Write down the biggest five inventions by Americans and then look up their inventors, I’d bet most are at least second generation immigrants. What has made the US great is the pooling of world talent and hard work. Then at some point all of them become part of American history as Americans. Cheers!

By the look of his face, he is CHINESE-CAMBODIAN, not pure dark skin cambodian. Chinese-Cambodians are entrepreneurs and business savvy. SE Asia's economies were and are built by Chinese who were immigrated from china in the 18th and 19th centuries. Wherever they went, they built business and helped communities. Now, their descendants do the same! Chinese mixed girls are also prettier compare to the pure natives!
