Winner of the 2012 Spike Lee Fellowship, Filipino-American Jess Dela Merced presents a contemporary edition of Spike Lee’s classic “Do The Right Thing”, inspired by a real-life incident of anti-Asian racism in Southern California.
The film begins with the upcoming opening of a shop that is going to put on market the hottest new shoes. A line of youths is already in place from the night before, and three friends, Danny, Ronny and his sister, Justine are on their way to the line. Before going there, they stop at a fast food in order to buy “ammunition” for the waiting. However, after they leave the shop, they realize that the African-American that served them has named them Ching-Chongs in the receipt. Justine is infuriated and wants to return to the shop, but the other two do not share her opinion, and prefer to get in line. Eventually, she follows them.
