Peters Education Center Auditorium (West of Save Mart Center in the Student Recreation Center Building)

Discussant: TAdashi Nakamura (Director)

Generations of artists call director Robert A. Nakamura “The Godfather of Asian American film,” but his son, “Tad” (for Tadashi), calls him “Dad”. As the filmmaking son of a filmmaking legend, Tad uses the lessons his dad taught him to decipher the legacy of an aging man who was a child survivor of the WWII incarceration of Japanese Americans, a successful photographer who gave it up to tell his own story, an activist at the dawn of a social movement—and a father whose struggles have won his son freedoms that eluded Japanese Americans of his generation. As Parkinson’s Disease clouds his dad’s memory, Tad sets out to retrieve his dad’s story—and in the process discovers his own. Father and son have made films together, with Robert always by Tad’s side. The Third Act is most likely the last. In English and Japanese subtitles, 93 minutes.
