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
