A portrait of Nguyen Duc Dat, a blind guitarist who is a “triple outcast”: disabled, Amerasian, and an orphan. Dat went from a life on the streets of Saigon selling lottery tickets to winning guitar championships in the state of California, where he now resides. The video unfolds in layers of conversation with Dat about his experiences as a new immigrant and young adult in America.
