Momo America is a documentary short film that expands the Asian American narrative by providing an insider’s view into the largely invisible Nepali American immigrant experience.
The narrator’s personal story, built of memories, family photographs, and home video, provides the framework through which are woven present-day vignettes of a growing and increasingly diverse Nepali American population that continues to evolve - creating community and passing on cultural knowledge, often around the kitchen table while preparing one of their favorite foods: momos.
