Two men, a simple toy, and a hundred years of ups and downs. A documentary-in-progress written, directed, and produced by Cynthia Liu. Just about everybody recognizes the name Duncan when it comes to yo-yos. But did you know the first man to own a yo-yo company in America was a Filipino immigrant by the name of Pedro Flores? In addition to launching one of the world's best-loved toys, he hired numerous Filipino American yo-yo demonstrators and played a central role in popularizing the toy as we know it.
