Synopsis

Written by Alex Muñoz and Cory Caso, "I Fuetsan I Tao Tao" tells the story of a young Chamorro boy growing up on the American mainland, in the city of San Diego , California. Unable to handle her reckless and rebellious son, the boy's mother sends him to Guam for rehabilitation. It is there that the young boy learns to embrace his Chamorro heritage and is ultimately transformed by the beauty and power of our Culture and people.
