Struggling to make a better life for his family, he must confront the ghosts of his past when he discovers that he could be deported from the only country he has ever called home.
Blue Bayou is produced by Charles D. King, Kim Roth, Poppy Hanks and Justin Chon and co-stars Mark O’Brien, Linh Dan Pham and Emory Cohen. It world premieres at the 74th Cannes Film Festival this week and will be distributed by Focus Features September 17, 2021.
