Description

NYC PREMIERE Tadashi Nakamura’s film about his father, pioneering filmmaker Robert A. Nakamura, is both historically resonant and rooted in personal experience. In charting his father’s legacy as a filmmaker and activist, the younger Nakamura confronts his struggles with identity. More than a biopic of a great man, this is a story of a resilient family whose members, despite all the hardships they have endured, recognize they are lucky to have accomplished so much—and luckier to be together. - Murtada Elfadl

The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director/producer Tadashi Nakamura.

All in-person screening venues provide sound amplification headphones upon request with venue management. IFC Center can also provide a T-Coil loop for compatible devices.
