When
Join us for a special screening of The Apology Times, a short documentary filmed in São Paulo by Thatcher Warrick Hess, supported by the Tinker Foundation.
This interdisciplinary, multimedia documentary explores the ethnolinguistic vitality of the Japanese-Brazilian community and how language is represented in media across São Paulo and Tokyo. It centers on the creation and aftermath of the Brazilian government's official apology for past discrimination, as reported by Diário Brasil Nippou — the last Japanese-language print newspaper in Brazil.
The film runs approximately 50 minutes and is presented in Portuguese, Japanese, and English, with English subtitles.
Thatcher will also present on this project during the 3rd Annual Latin American Studies Symposium on April 11th.
Come support this thoughtful and timely work!
