天道酬勤
In 1866, a Chinese immigrant miner and his son dig for gold in a remote mine in Northern California. When a crew of white miners stumbles upon their claim, a confrontation ensues. The worldviews of father and son clash, and a fracture forms over what must be done to secure their future.
Heaven Rewards The Diligent (天道酬勤) reimagines the Western—one of cinema's oldest and most problematic genres—through the eyes of early Chinese immigrants, whose stories have long been erased from the silver screen.
The film is currently undergoing post-production. Stay tuned for updates.
