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.
