The rise and fall of a Cambodian refugee who escaped genocide and overcame poverty to build a life for himself—and hundreds of other immigrant families—by baking America’s favorite pastry and building an unlikely empire of donut shops.
Executive produced by Ridley Scott, Alice Gu’s vibrant documentary covers a sugary true story that has a bittersweet aftertaste. In the face of war trauma, the astonishing rise of a Cambodian refugee who became a self-made millionaire reflects both the promise and the limits of the American Dream.
