Ken Jeong & Jae Suh Park Move to Wyoming in 'A Great Divide' Trailer

"Sometimes it feels like our country is at war with itself." Gravitas Ventures has revealed the official trailer for an indie film titled A Great Divide, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Jean Shim. This premiered last year at the Bentonville Film Fest, playing at the Heartland & Hawaii Film Festivals as well, though this is the first time we've encountered it. Always good to discover more "where did this come from?" indie gems. The Lee family leave the Bay Area for a fresh start living in the rural expanses of Wyoming, only to encounter hostility, racism, and xenophobia in their new small town community. How they confront these issues will break them – or make them stronger. A Great Divide also focuses on their son Benjamin, played Emerson Min, struggling with his new life. Jae Suh Park and Ken Jeong co-star as his parents, along with MeeWha Alana Lee as Grandma, Jaime McShane, Margaret Cho, Marshall Allman, Seamus Dever, West Mulholland, and Miya Cech (from the "Avatar: The Last Airbender" series). This looks like a real heartfelt, earnest, beautifully-shot story unafraid to deal with the rotten truth about American racism, while still being a love letter to America and all that it can provide. This trailer really grabbed my attention. // Continue Reading ›
