DESCRIPTION:\n\nFilm screenings about Japanese American wartime experience 
 is on every Wednesday evenings. Furikake popcorn and green tea will be pro
 vided. Donations suggested.\n\n<strong><em>Old Man River.</em></strong> Cy
 nthia Gates Fujikawa. This unusual portrait of a daughter trying to know h
 er stoic father years after his death\, combines writer/performer Cynthia 
 Gates Fujikawa's acclaimed\, multi-media\, one woman stage performansce\, 
 with a stirring collage of moving and still images that mesh to reveal a k
 aleidoscopic portrait of hollywood charactor actor Jerry Fujikawa (Chinato
 wn\, M*A*S*H\, Taxi). Jerry's career playing every imaginable Asian stereo
 type seemed anything but glamorous and always predictable to his daughter.
  But when Ms. Fujikawa stumbles upon a mysterious secret her father would 
 take to his grave\, she embarks upon a journey that brings her face to fac
 e with American racism\, specifically the internment of Japanese Ameircans
  during World War II\, and eventually leads her to a sister she never knew
  existed. <em>Old Man River</em> brings to life an astoundingly tragic and
  complex American family history\, while connecting this personal story to
  larger political and social issues (1998\, 73 minutes).\n\n
