The Donut King, is the truth is crazier than fiction, rags to riches to rags story of Ted Ngoy, a Cambodian refugee who built an empire of donut shops in LA so successful that he kept Dunkin’ Donuts out of the market. Ngoy also mentored, employed and supported thousands of fellow immigrants starting life in the U.S. The Donut King is directed by Alice Gu and won Special Jury Recognition for Achievement in Documentary Storytelling at the South by Southwest2020 festival this spring.
