Necessary Roughness

Chan Jung Kim has been happy living in Los Angeles where he is the star of his school`s soccer team. Chan`s life changes dramatically when his family moves to a small town in Minnesota--a town where nobody has ever seen an Asian-American family before. To further complicate matters, Chan`s new school doesn`t have a soccer team--football is their big sport. Attempting to fit in, Chan signs up for the team, although he is still feels, and is treated, like an outsider. For the first time, Chan starts thinking about what it means to be Korean--and what really matters to him in life. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
