Why watch our film?


This document will help both Korean American parents and their children to set long term goals for their careers, find interests and talents of students in early stages, and gain independence from their parents. Our film subjects talk about their struggles to meet their parents’ expectations and educational pressures, overcome language barriers and their immigration transition. Moreover, “Korean American Super Kids” film crew will get some insights from Korean American professors, mental health professionals, Korean community leaders, and parents and families’ perspectives. 
In addition, many Americans tend to perceive the Korean American as a “model minority.” By watching this documentary film, people will have better understanding on the Korean American culture, challenges and struggles. Also, we as social workers can assist Korean American students and parents with greater cultural competency in our society.
