Description:
LIQUOR STORE DREAMS offers an intimate portrait of the lives of Korean American liquor store owners and their second-generation ‘liquor store babies.’ Using a lens of relationality, the documentary opens space for tough intergenerational conversations about immigration, race, solidarity, and mental health. Join us for a screening and candid conversation with filmmaker So Yun Um and Skid Row People’s Market owner Danny Park.
