This is the second episode of In Great Company Podcast, where our host Eugene Suen interviews actor, writer, director & executive producer Justin Chon about his latest Sundance Film Festival Audience Award winning feature 'Gook'. Chon plays Eli, the Korean American shoe store owner at the center of “Gook” who finds the epithet scrawled across his car one morning. It’s a symbol of the hatred targeted at the Asian immigrants who flocked to L.A. in the 1970s and ‘80s, opening businesses in predominantly African American and Latino communities.
