Join us on November 27 in Town Hall for a special screening of "Riceboy Sleeps." Actor Ethan Hwang, from Netflix’s acclaimed hit, "The Umbrella Academy," will be joined by Assistant Professor and Associate Chair of U of T’s Department of East Asian Studies Michelle Cho for a post-screening discussion and Q&A.
Riceboy Sleeps follows So-young, a Korean single mother, raising her adolescent son Dong-hyun in the suburbs of Canada during the 90s. Determined to provide a better life for him than the one she left behind in her native country, she does her best to overcome the constant racial and cultural challenges that confront them. As Dong-hyun gets older, he becomes increasingly curious about his Korean heritage and in particular, about his deceased father – a topic that So-young refuses to address.
