Here's a film you should not miss.

BAD AXE captures a closely-knit Asian American family living in rural Michigan during the pandemic as they fight to keep their local restaurant and American dream alive. With rising racial tensions, the family uses their voice and must unite as they reckon with backlash from a divided community, white supremacists, and intergenerational trauma from Cambodia’s “killing fields.” – Directed by David Siev

One of the goals I set for 2023 was to watch 5 of the documentaries from this year's Oscars shortlist. I haven't decided which ones to watch let, but I think Hidden Letters, Moonage Daydream, and Bad Axe are all on my list.

Thanks to @profbib for the reminder. #BadAxe is a film I am looking forward to seeing. One of the best parts of #michigan is the diaspora communities. It is heartbreaking when #michiganders don't celebrate all they have given our state :(

It may be difficult to watch, but the story of this immigrant family during the pandemic and ensuing rise of far-right ideology in America looks absolutely inspiring.

Though not born in Bad Axe, my mother lived there through age 18, and has good, bad, and some very bad memories of it.

I only experienced Bad Axe during holiday visits with family, and that was way back in the 70s.
