MORNING COMES SO SOON

Set in the beautiful central pacific country of the Marshall Islands, MORNING COMES SO SOON is the story of Leban, a Marshallese high school student who falls in love with Mei-Lin, a Chinese girl who is new to the island.

This film deals with the issues of suicide and racism which are two of the biggest problems facing youth living in the Marshall Islands. In fact, the RMI has one of the leading suicide rates in the world. The issue of racism has become more serious recently as more and more foreigners have moved to the islands. » More
