LAFPI

AFTER THE FALL

Written by Miki Kim
Directed by Leslie Ishii

Abby, an Asian-American public defender in Los Angeles, is not only single and pregnant, she’s the primary caregiver for her adoptive father — a Vietnam veteran in the late stages of dementia. When she’s assigned to defend a Laotian Hmong man accused of murdering four white hunters, she accepts the help of an enigmatic Vietnamese nurse to care for her father. The case and the nurse push Abby into the world of war and a culture she has ignored most of her life.
