DVD Screening: Permanência: Staying in this country
A documentary about second- and third-generation Japanese-Brazilians
In
Portuguese with Japanese subtitles
In the age of globalization, large numbers of people are crossing borders for many reasons. Today, the group of foreign migrants most immediate to many Japanese are probably Brazilians whose Japanese ancestors made the journey across the Pacific Ocean to Brazil. Japanese in Brazil, Brazilians in Japan -- both types of people construct the foundations for their lives in the place where they live, all the while continually questioning who they are. It is not an issue that affects only Brazilians in Japan.
There are now ever-increasing opportunities for Japanese to cross borders and experience living in other countries. Through this film, we hope that you will try to experience what it means to live across national boundaries.
