filmmaker robin lung investigates the case of li ling-ai, the un-credited female producer of KUKAN, a landmark color film that revealed the atrocities of world war II china to american audiences. KUKAN has the rare honor of being the first ever american feature documentary to receive an academy award® in 1942.
lost for decades, lung discovers a badly damaged film print of KUKAN, and pieces together the never before told inspirational tale of the two renegades behind the making of it -- li ling-ai and cameraman rey scott.
