In the documentary 'Bad Axe,' filmmaker David Siev turned his camera on his multicultural family and wound up with a portrait of America during the pandemic.
Boasting a Walmart, two main traffic lights and many MAGA caps, Siev’s hometown may lack diversity but it holds the promise of the American Dream in the form of Rachel’s, the family-owned restaurant where he and his sisters, Jaclyn and Raquel, have worked from a young age.
Meanwhile, all that family togetherness also begins to show its cracks, especially for patriarch Chun, who survived genocide in Cambodia, only for his PTSD to resurface four decades later. Tensions are further heightened when his children and their partners opt to attend at Black Lives Matter protest despite their parents’ concerns that their visible involvement could hurt business, leading to a chilling confrontation with hate-spewing, gun-toting white supremacists.“My parents are good at biting their tongue,” Jaclyn says of their lifelong work ethic/survival instinct.
