Perry Yung has been cast as the patriarch in the upcoming family drama “The Harvest,” a story about an estranged son who returns home to help his ailing Hmong father, only to be confronted with the intergenerational conflicts and traumas that exist between children and their traditional parents.

“The Harvest” is based off Doua Moua’s own script (the screenplay was a Nicholl Fellowship semi-finalist screenplay) and Moua will also star.

Yung will play Cher, an elder refugee and war survivor who suffers the devastating and deteriorating effects that his kidney failure has on his family. He is best known for playing Father Jun in the HBO Max series “Warrior.”
