"A Thousand Years Of Good Prayers"
(2007)
In the wake of his wife's death, Shi (Henry O) leaves his native China to find his estranged daughter, Yilan (Faye Yu), in the United States. There, Shi befriends Madam (Vida Ghahremani), an Arab-American mother who can relate to his feelings of isolation and culture shock. After having an awkward reunion with Yilan, Shi realizes just how far apart they've grown from each other. And though he can barely speak English, Shi decides to stay permanently, hoping to mend their broken relationship.
Filmed entirely in Spokane, with a nod to Lake Coeur D'Alene, various sections of town can be identified throughout this movie. Businesses are featured from the downtown sector to north Division, parks are held in prominent display (Manito being one of them). This cache is hidden immediately across the street (due north) from the apartment complex that Shi and his daughter, Yilan, lived in.
