The Flamingo Rising, a Hallmark Hall of Fame Presentation, is a funny and poignant tale of laughter, love, and, ultimately, forgiveness. The narrator, Abraham Lee, is a young Korean boy adopted and brought to America along with his sister Louise by war veteran Hubert T. Lee (Brian Benben). Hubert is a kind and endearing free spirit who, as the story begins, brings his wife Edna (Elizabeth McGovern) and his two children to Florida to build the world's greatest drive-in movie theater.
