"The Original Frisco Boys," a compelling documentary that delves into the lives of Filipino immigrant teens in San Francisco during the 1960-70's civil rights era and hippie revolution.

This documentary is dedicated to preserving and sharing cultural heritage through impactful filmmaking.

We aim to illuminate the experiences of Filipino American youths who forged bonds of brotherhood amidst social upheaval, grappling with issues of racism, identity, and community resilience.

"The Original Frisco Boys" captures a pivotal chapter of American history, often overlooked in mainstream narratives.

Why Are We Doing This Film?

We want to address a critical gap in historical representation by documenting the experiences of Filipino immigrant teens in the 1960-70's in San Francisco. This demographic, despite their significant contributions remains underrepresented in mainstream historical narratives.

Filipino Americans, particularly those who immigrated to San Francisco in the mid-20th century, have a rich but often overlooked history. Our stories of resilience, cultural adaptation, and community building in the face of racial discrimination are vital to understanding the broader social dynamics of the era.
