Buckaroo Boy

An experimental autobiography on the coming-of-age of a Japanese American boy in the 50's and 60's. It humorously explores the influence of TV cowboys and other mainstream heroes on minorities' self-identity. Throughout my childhood, I held on tightly to the idea of being a cowboy when I grew up. But as I got older and more aware, I came to realize that there weren't any Asian cowboys with glasses. This video is about the questions that arise when your role models are fantasy figures that don't reflect your native ethnicity, race, or culture.
