OKAERI WATCH PARTY: Honor Thy Children

OKAERI WATCH PARTY: Honor Thy Children

Join us for the premiere of "Honor Thy Children", an episode from our upcoming Okaeri Voices Season Two launch.

HONOR THY CHILDREN

After losing all 3 of his sons, two who were gay, Al Nakatani describes his journey to love and honor his children. Al and his wife, Jane used their tragedy to share their story of loss in hopes that other parents would love and accept their children no matter how they identify. The Nakatanis also became chosen parents to so many LGBTQ+ individuals who were not embraced and seen by their families as the beautiful, amazing human beings they are.

The film screening will be followed by a Q&A with the following panelists:

  • Jane Nakatani: Cofounder of Honor Thy Children & Al Nakatani's wife

  • Paul Tonnessen

  • Johnny Manzon-Santos: Health & Social Justice Advocate

  • Barney Cheng: Filmmaker

  • Facilitation by Eric Arimoto

There will be time reserved for people to give tribute to Al.
