El Chino - Short Documentary

 

El Chino

Jon "El Chino" Wong would be next up in the four-generation Chinese lineage of Sun Sun Co., the oldest grocery store and wholesaler in Boston's Chinatown.

A lifetime of working for his father and uncle - endlessly stacking boxes and loading trucks while doing deliveries around New England - has worn on him and he breaks away from the family business to create a career shaping surfboards. However, when his father is diagnosed with liver cancer, the family business once again falls on his shoulders and the future of the passion driven business he's spent years building becomes uncertain.

Produced by Max Esposito, Saade Barbar, and Jon Wong.
