Saturday, November 12
2:00PM, Bright Family Screening Room, The Paramount Center 559 Washington Street, Boston (T: Boylston or Downtown Crossing) 2010 | 85 mins | Documentary Directed by Jeff Chiba Stearns Q&A with Director Jeff Chiba Stearns Co-presented by New England Japanese American Citizens League and Discover Roxbury. After a realization at a family reunion, half Japanese-Canadian filmmaker, Jeff Chiba Stearns, embarks on a journey of self-discovery to find out why everyone in his Japanese-Canadian family married interracially after his grandparents’ generation. This feature live action and animated documentary explores why almost 100% of all Japanese-Canadians are marrying interracially, the highest out of any other ethnic group in Canada, and how their mixed children perceive their unique multiracial identities. One Big Hapa Family challenges our perceptions of purity and makes us question if mixing is the end of multiculturalism as we know it. Director: Jeff Chiba Stearns |
