World Premiere: What Happened to Danny

WORLD PREMIERE
When 19-year-old Chinatown native Danny Chen dies while serving in Afghanistan, the official account raises troubling questions for the family who knew his ambitions and devotion to loved ones. As disturbing details surrounding his final weeks emerge, his grieving parents and New York community mobilize to uncover the truth. Both an intimate investigation and stirring portrait of collective resistance, the film honors a young life while confronting racism, institutional power, and the difficult pursuit of accountability.
