Troublemaker
John Cho, with Sara Suk
Twelve-year-old Jordan moves through school and family life during the Los Angeles riots. He measures himself against an older sister whose example feels difficult to match, while also feeling the weight of his parents’ expectations. Told from Jordan’s point of view, the story places his family pressures alongside a Korean American perspective on the unrest and the racial tensions surrounding it.
