When Boo-Seng Lee is laid off from the job to which he has devoted the
last 25 years of his life, he decides to take his two sons Jimmy and
Isaac on a road trip to Durango, Colorado. As they make their way across
the Arizona desert, they confront family secrets, peeling back the
layers of identity, alienation and duty that define being Asian in
America. DURANGO promises to be a thought-provoking examination of the
fears, fantasies, and failures of a family standing in the shadow of the
American Dream.
