Culture
Clint stars as crotchety war veteran Walt Kowalski, a retired widower who spends his days sitting on the porch with his dog and growling at the neighborhood kids to “get off my lawn.” His own kids, spoiled businessman Mitch (Brian Haley) and wife Karen (Geraldine Hughes), who´ve raised even more spoiled grandchildren, ignore Walt unless it´s his birthday, when they bring gifts of a phone with big, easy-to-see buttons and a brochure for a retirement home.
Next door lives a large family of Hmong immigrants, including two young siblings, shy Thao (Bee Vang) and spunky Sue (Ahney Her), who tries to break through Walt´s gruff barrier and won´t take no for an answer. The local gang tries to initiate Thao into their ranks by having him steal Walt´s pristine 1972 Gran Torino; that doesn´t go too well, with Thao finding himself staring at the barrel of Walt´s rifle. But instead of animosity between the neighbors, Sue and her family insist Thao pays off his debt by doing work for Walt, who is forced to take on the kid, and teach him to become a man in the process.

One time my father told me about the “Black Mung,” (Romanized spelling, Hmong and h‘Mong) or “Mountain Fighters” who lived “up the way” in the Appalachian Mountains. He said they fought valiantly for the American troops during the Vietnam War and were given refuge in the United States because they were hunted and killed by the North Vietnamese and the Communist Laotians when Americans left. Further, he said they liked Appalachia because the mountainous region reminded them of their homeland.
May isAsian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Join us as we celebrate the Hmong people who immigrated to the United States, and, in particular, to Appalachia. I’ll begin by offering my apologies to anyone who finds my attempt at honoring these extraordin
