CHOSEN Screening/Q&A
October 1 @ 4:00 pm - 6:30 pm
In 2020, five Korean Americans of vastly diverse backgrounds with competing political views run for US Congress. David Kim is the only underdog with limited resources vying to be the first gay Korean American representative.
Joseph Juhn is a Korean American lawyer-turned-documentary filmmaker. A serendipitous backpacking trip to Cuba in 2015 changed Joseph’s life when he ran into a third generation Korean Cuban by chance, inspiring him to further explore the notion of diasporic identity through storytelling. So came <JERONIMO>, which was accepted to 18 film festivals around the globe and had a theatrical release in Korea in November, 2019. Joseph’s second film, <CHOSEN>, had the World Premiere at the Jeonju International Film Festival in Jeonju, Korea, in May, 2022. Joseph earned a BA in Film & Video at UC San Diego, and a JD at Syracuse University College of Law.
