Racism and Family in Small-Town America

Ken Jeong leads a powerful ensemble in A Great Divide, a deeply moving story about racism, resilience, and identity — now streaming on VidyCinema.

Directed by Jean Shim, A Great Divide follows the Lee family as they leave the Bay Area for a quiet town in Wyoming, only to encounter unexpected hostility and xenophobia. The film explores the emotional toll of racism and the strength required to stay united as a family.

In a rare dramatic performance, Ken Jeong portrays Isaac Lee, a father doing his best to protect his family while confronting the subtle and overt biases of their new environment. Emerson Min plays Benjamin Lee, a teen caught between cultures and struggling to find his place in an unwelcoming town.

The cast also features Miya Cech, Jae Suh Park, Seamus Dever, and Margaret Cho. With tender storytelling and an authentic script inspired by real events, the film brings attention to the often overlooked experiences of Asian American families in rural communities.
