An exclusive Q&A with director and producer So Yun Um will also follow the screening.
'Liquor Store Dreams' is an intimate portrait of two Korean-American children of liquor store owners who set out to bridge generational divides with their immigrant parents in Los Angeles. They confront the complex legacies of LA's racial landscape, including the 1991 murder of Latasha Harlins and the 1992 uprisings sparked by the police beating of Rodney King, while engaged in current struggles for social and economic justice.
Money raised at this event will go towards our Internship Program. The program provides scholarships and opportunities for Korean-American high school and college students in areas where Asian-Americans are underrepresented.
The event promises to be a blast with inspiring stories, scrumptious Korean snacks, Asian-inspired cocktails, and exciting raffle prizes. Don't miss out on this opportunity to make a difference while having a fantastic time. See you there!
