Join us for the Hemphill Branch's AAPI Heritage Month Cinema Series, a month long showcase of classic and contemporary films created by Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander actors, writers, directors, and filmmakers. From the hard-hitting social commentary of Parasite to the magical musical adventure of Moana, each film explores a different aspect of the Asian/AAPI story across theme and genre.

 

On Thursday, May 7 at 6:30 pm, we are screening the award winning drama Once We Were Warriors (1994), starring Rena Owen, Temuera Morrison, and Cliff Curtis.

Here is a description of the film: "A family descended from Maori warriors is bedeviled by a violent father and the societal problems of being treated as outcasts.."

The film is rated R. This program is for adults. Learn more about the film here
