Directed by Tadashi Nakamura • 2025 • United States

Generations of artists call Robert A. Nakamura “the Godfather of Asian American media,” but his son, Tad, calls him Dad. As the filmmaking son of a filmmaking legend, Tad uses the lessons his dad taught him to decipher the legacy of an aging man who was a child survivor of the World War II–era 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. As Parkinson’s disease clouds his father’s memory, Tad sets out to retrieve his story—and in the process discovers his own.
