SUMMARY:Play - Did You Eat? (밥 먹었니?)
DESCRIPTION:DID YOU EAT? (밥 먹었니?) is Zoë Kim’s autobiographical journey through love’s many forms–how it’s learned\, given\, and reflected inward. In a nimble and tender solo performance\, Zoë shapeshifts into the souls of her family through a landscape of memories where tears and laughter collide. It’s not just a story\, but a reckoning—weaving through the textured threads of Korean/American identity\, belonging\, and healing. DID YOU EAT? (밥 먹었니?) is a poetic love letter to the inner child\, and hopefully yours too. Directed by Chris Yejin.

SUMMARY:Screening - The Paradox of Seabrook Farms: Shattered Dreams\, Restored Hopes
DESCRIPTION:The moving and complex story of Seabrook Farms in New Jersey where 2\,500 Japanese Americans worked and settled after being released from World War II Incarceration Camps. There they were joined by people of around 21 other nationalities including Eastern European refugees fleeing persecution and African Americans escaping the Jim Crow laws in the Deep South\, to form an interwoven global community. Both men and women worked grueling rotating 7 day shifts at what was the largest frozen food processing farm and factory in the United States in the mid-20th Century. Despite all the hardships they still found ways to keep and celebrate their cultural traditions\, share them with members of the larger community\, and give their children a happy childhood despite the injustices they had suffered through. It is a story of immigrants and migrant workers overcoming hardship and exploitation\, which continues to this present day.\n\n\n \nThis free film screening will be followed by a Q&A and a reception with food and refreshments.\n \nThe panel will include: the film’s director Helga Merits\, John Seabrook (Grandson of Seabrook Farms founder Charles F. Seabrook)\, plus Helle Gawrylewski and Theodora “Teddy” Yoshikami whose families worked and lived at Seabrook Farms when they were children. The discussion will be moderated by George Hirose (from JAA-NY\, JACL-NY & ZAJA).\n\n\n \nPlease RSVP to george.hirose@gmail.com by October 25th\, 2025 with “RSVP Seabrook” in the subject line.
