Bringing King to China
This is a 'love letter' from the filmmaker to his adult daughter, a young American who is struggling to bring Martin Luther King's dream of non-violence to China. Caitrin's journey begins after she mistakenly learns that her father--who was then a reporter covering the Iraq war--has been killed by a suicide bomber. Relocating to China to teach civil rights, she fends off criticism about U.S. foreign policy by staging a play about Dr. King to show 'a positive face of America.' But her dream of building a bridge of understanding is shaken by cross-cultural misunderstanding, strained relationships and the awareness that her father, the filmmaker, is suffering from post-traumatic stress.
