His name is Keisaburo Koda, who was widely known amongst Japanese Americans as the “Rice King” whose throne has been carried on by his grandchildren, Ross and Robin. This documentary is about perseverance, persistance, and passion of the Koda Farms through various hardships since the 1920’s and also a tribute to Keisaburo, the original seed of the Koda Farms.  To find out more about the feature length documentary “Seed” you can go to: seedfilm.life   Check out the video below:   Behind The Scenes:   Let’s set the scene: Set in the underground world of Asian organized crime, The Other Side, explores themes of justice, revenge and morality.
