📌 Available on Prime Video and Netflix and Pluto TV🛡️ Older teens 13+
📖 Story
A family stakes everything on a dream of building their own life in rural Arkansas, only to discover that survival in this unfamiliar land demands more than ambition. When an unyielding grandmother arrives to reshape their household, Minari becomes a meditation on what truly defines home—not the land we own, but the people we refuse to leave behind. Through seasons of hardship and unexpected grace, they learn that the deepest roots grow not from soil, but from the resilience that binds them together.
