The film showcases the struggles of the second-generation Koreans as they attempt to navigate the cultural expectations of their parents and their own identity crisis as Americans. The documentary features interviews with second-generation Korean-Americans who share their stories of growing up in a culturally traditional Korean family in America. They speak about their struggles to balance the expectations of their parents, who often hold onto traditional Korean values, and their own desire to assimilate and become more American. The film also highlights the challenges faced by the second-generation Koreans in the context of the church. Many of these young people grew up in the church, but as they get older, they struggle to reconcile their cultural and spiritual identities. The spiritual expectations placed on them by their parents and the church can be overwhelming, leading many to leave the church and even the Christian faith altogether. Through the documentary, viewers learn about the history of Korean immigration to America and the challenges faced by Korean-Americans as they try to balance their Korean heritage and American identity. The film explores the cultural and spiritual implications of this divide, shedding light on a complex issue that affects many Korean-Americans today. In the end, Prodigal Korea seeks to raise awareness about the challenges faced by second-generation Korean-Americans and the importance of creating a more inclusive and welcoming church environment for them. It provides a platform for second-generation Koreans to share their stories and experiences and encourages viewers to better understand the complexities of identity and culture in America today.
