Filmmaker Lee Isaac Chung and Professor Anne Cheng participated in a discussion and Q&A following a screening of Chung's film "Minari." A delicately wrought drama about what roots us, MINARI follows a Korean-American family that moves to an Arkansas farm in search of their own American Dream. Tracing the material and emotional challenges of this new life in the rugged Ozarks for this young family, MINARI shows the resilience of family and what it means to forge a home when you are seen as strangers from a different land.
Chung wrote and directed the film, and it was distributed by A24 Films and produced by Plan B Entertainment.
The event was sponsored by the Department of English, Program in American Studies, Office of the Dean of the College, and Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students.
