JACL News: NEJACL at BAAFF 2011

The NEJACL will be gathering for dinner at China Garden following the film. Please RSVP to Ken Oye, (oye@nejacl.org) so he can make reservations.
One Big Hapa Family
Film summary: 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.
