Over 10 years ago, my father was attacked by three teenagers with baseball bats when he was jogging home from work. The attack left my father with broken ribs, internal bleeding, smashed teeth, head injury, and other countless damages all over his body.
I've been trying to work out this event in my head and over the depression that this event has caused my whole family. The attackers got 2 weeks in jail and were released afterward. Over many years I have come to the conclusion that revenge would only mean that I would become the same person as the attackers, no matter how much I wanted justice for my father.
My friends told me to write something honest if I wanted to become a real director, so here we are, a film about the errors of revenge, heartbreak, and nightmares I had over 10 years from this attack.
I appreciate you taking the time to review this film and hope a fragment of this film can resonate with you. I wish to spread awareness of racism and how awful those transgressions can have on others.
Best,
Jae
