Next month marks the 25th anniversary of the Los Angeles riots that erupted following the beating of Rodney King. It was a pivotal time in race relations for L.A., and now, a new feature film called "Gook" explores the Korean-American perspective on the events of April 1992.

We talk with Justin Chon, writer, director, and lead actor about the complicated inspiration behind his film.
