Veterano, a narrative crime drama/thriller about an aging Filipino World War II veteran with nothing left to lose who dusts off his past and his pistol for one last mission in 1981 San Francisco. The story is rooted in the overlooked history of Filipino World War II veterans who fought for the United States only to have their promised citizenship and benefits stripped away by the 1946 Rescission Act. Directed by Patrick Epino and starring Jon Jon Briones!
