Courage for Yong

After two decades living in Los Angeles with bipolar disorder, Yong Yang, a Korean-American patient, had finally built a life worth living - until an LAPD officer fatally shot him during a mental health crisis. “Courage for Yong” is a documentary that follows Yong’s identical twin brother and Korean immigrant parents as they refuse to grieve in silence, challenging the cultural stigma and institutional cover-up that allowed law enforcement to label their son a "suspect" rather than a patient. Together, they demand accountability in a system that too often responds to mental illness with lethal force.
