Join us for an afternoon screening of the KCFFI award-winning Viet Kieu documentary The Empathizer (www.empathizerdoc.com) at the historic Stanley H Durwood Film Vault at the KC Public Library! RSVP is required for either screening, each of which are followed by an in-person Q&A with the filmmakers : Director+Producer Fred Le (instagram.com/fredle) and Co-Director+Cinematographer Bret Hamilton (instagram.com/cinemarxismbret). This special engagement is sponsored by the nonprofit Hella Good Deeds www.hellagooddeeds.org . The Empathizer is an hourlong documentary exploring the second-generation immigrant experience, identity, and inheritance. Shot in 2022 in Saigon and Hanoi, the film features interviews conducted by comedian Fred Le with adult overseas-born Vietnamese who made the choice to establish roots in the land that their parents fled. There are two opportunities to view the film : 🎞️ 3PM and 🎞️ 5:30PM. Please indicate which screening you will be attending in your RSVP. Spots are limited, and RSVP is REQUIRED! Looking forward to sharing and discussing this impactful film with you during AAPI Heritage Month! Learn more about The Empathizer on our Instagram : www.instagram.com/empathizerdoc
