The self-proclaimed Donut King is the stunning tale of Cambodian refugee, Ted Ngoy, who reshaped the donut industry into the pink boxed, glazed phenomenon of ‘mom & pop’ shops that took over the west coast in the 80s and 90s. After successfully establishing his own shops, Ted pioneered a franchise model to provide economic opportunity for recent Cambodian immigrants. A rags to riches story that defies imagination, this fun and energetic documentary documents Ted’s unlikely success and dramatic fall from grace.
