Inspired by a pre-colonial Filipino value of “shared identity” and “self in other,” Searching for Kapwa follows the filmmaker’s quest to understand and embrace his roots, as a queer Filipino-American living in a polarized America. The child of immigrants, Larry’s journey unpacks the complicated and sometimes dark history of the Philippines, including 400 years of Spanish and American colonization, and its lasting impact on the Filipino diaspora. Ultimately, the search for kapwa is about understanding the power of our histories, and finding wholeness in our complex and intersectional identities.
This June 9th Rough-Cut Screening will include snacks and a post-screening discussion with the filmmakers and guests about the film's themes, including this year's USAAF theme, Generations of Power.
