THIRD ACT
As the filmmaking son of a filmmaking legend, Tadashi Nakamura (Tad) uses the lessons his father taught him to decipher the legacy of an aging man who was a child survivor of the WWII incarceration of Japanese Americans, a successful photographer who gave it up to tell his own story, an activist at the dawn of a social movement—and a father whose struggles have won his son freedoms that eluded Japanese Americans of his generation.
With Robert in the last stage of his life and Tad a father himself, Tad looks to the past and the future with a searching curiosity of what legacy means and how it can be lived. With a poignant relevancy to this moment in American history, THIRD ACT is an intimate and emotional story of the Asian American experience in its political, historic, personal, and artistic fullness.
