Responding to a labor shortage in the 1990s, the Japanese government opened immigration to second- and third- generation Japanese descendants. This documentary follows three Brazilian-Japanese families as they undergo migration from Brazil to Japan, working through issues of labor, identity, and change in contemporary Japan. Join us for a screening and virtual Q&A with directors Ana Paula Kojima Hirano and Aaron Litvin.
