As the first Asian American astronaut, Ellison Onizuka ventured from his humble beginnings on the coffee field of Kona, Hawaii and dared to journey into the unknown. With the unveiling of two new murals in Little Tokyo, the film explores Onizuka's enduring impact as he continues to inspire exploration and the boundless potential of human aspiration. We won the third place at CineSpace Short Film Competition.
