Watched @hafufilm finally. I am not mixed but my kids are obviously. We were very conscious of this when we moved to Canada when my oldest was 1. We are trying to raise them to be proud of their heritages, to stand up for themselves, and to have no regrets.On twitter.com
Mood -1 🙁

We talk about this as a family all the time. A few years ago we saw another film about mixed Japanese abroad (I even shouted out @hafufilm in that post!). Even now we actively encourage the kids to compare their experiences here in Iki to Canada. chadkohalyk.com/2016/02/15/are-we-a-hapa-family/Permalink On twitter.com

It is a well done documentary, covering a lot of perspectives which I appreciate. I totally empathize with the parents. The film feels a bit old, since it has been a decade since production. Japan has changed/not-changed since then. What will it be like a decade from now?Permalink On twitter.com

Unrelated but it is really weird seeing people on screen getting together in big groups to watch fireworks, or crowding into an underground club, nobody wearing masks. Like when you used to see reruns of Friends or old movies and the Twin Towers were still standing. Before Times.Permalink On twitter.com
