I am going to be involved in a panel discussion at the University of Minnesota, Wiley Hall (Room 175) on Feb 20 4:30 - 5:30 pm discussing the involvement of Hmong Americans in the film Gran Torino. It's FREE so anyone that is in the area can attend. Come ready to have fun and hear stories from various cast members!

Check out the trailer to Gran Torino. You can catch the movie in theaters in America RIGHT NOW! Help support the film and go watch it! This could be Clint Eastwood's last in-front of the camera role, so you know you want to catch it!

Sonny Vue had the biggest break of his life, working with legendary actor and director Clint Eastwood. Sonny is of Hmong American heritage, his parents are immigrants from Laos. Sonny is the middle of 8 kids, 2 sisters and 5 brothers.
Sonny played "Smokie" in Gran Torino (2008), a film about Hmong neighbors living next door to a Korean War vet (played by Clint Eastwood). This opportunity is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
"Gran Torino" opened in the US on Jan. 9 as the number 1 movie that weekend. "Gran Torino" is one of Eastwood's largest grossing movies.
