KINTSUKUROI – Movie Premier….
n.
1. the Japanese art of repairing pottery using gold
2. the strength and beauty found in something that has been broken
The philosophy of KINTSUKUROI shows us that something shattered can be restored and made stronger and more beautiful. The term is an apt metaphor for the Japanese American experience of WWII.
Forced from their homes, farms and businesses, more than 120,000 Japanese Americans were unjustly imprisoned simply because of their race. Our new feature-length film KINTSUKUROI follows the Ito family from pre-war San Francisco to the concentration camps of the American West to the battlefields of Europe as it endures one of the most shameful periods in American History.
Please join J-SEI and Ikeibi Films in presenting at 6:30pm August 22 at the El Cerrito Performing Arts Center for the East Bay Premiere of KINTSUKUROI. The film features Ryan Takemiya, Kealani Kitaura, Ken Takeda, Ron Munekawa, Kiyomi Koide, Timothy Hsu, Sarah Lee, David Kiyoshi Tom and Chizu Omori. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the cast and crew.
