Third act

Director: Tadashi Nakamura
Producers: Eurie Chung and Tadashi Nakamura
Executive Producers: Diane Quon and Spencer Nakasako

Generations of artists call Robert A. Nakamura the godfather of Asian American film, but Tadashi Nakamura calls him Dad. What begins as a documentary about his father’s career takes a turn with a Parkinson’s Disease diagnosis, and evolves into an exploration on art, activist, grief, and fatherhood.
