Tracing a lineage from the '92 LA uprisings to the current day BLM movement, LIQUOR STORE DREAMS is an intimate portrait of two Korean American children of liquor store owners who set out to bridge generational divides with their immigrant parents in Los Angeles. The film is filled with family videos and community interviews, punctuated by clips from film and television that show just how deep these stereotypes and prejudices run.
