Letters for Peace

In the heart of Seoul, South Korea, a man named Jung-Su Lee has dedicated his life to mastering the art of Mexican cuisine. The Non-Biological Mexican explores his journey—how an unexpected connection to a distant culture reshaped his identity, and in turn, challenges what it truly means to belong. Through his story, filmmaker Joseph Balderas reflects on his own relationship with heritage, identity, and the blurred lines between culture and personal meaning.
