One Big Hapa Family (DVD)
1 journaler for this copy...
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 length 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.
The stories from four generations of a Japanese Canadian family come to life through the use of innovative animation techniques created by some of Canada's brightest independent animators. One Big Hapa Family challenges our perception of purity and makes us question if mixing is the end of multiculturalism as we know it.
