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 21 at 6:30 pm, we are screening Oldboy, the action thriller from acclaimed director Park Chan-wook based on the manga by Garon Tsuchiya and Nobuaki Minegishi.

Here is a description of the film: "After being kidnapped and imprisoned for fifteen years, Oh Dae-Su is released, only to find that he must track down his captor in five days."
