Dear FJ Life in Japan members,

My name is Megumi NIshikura, I am a filmmaker currently producing a
film about the experience of mixed-race Japanese. http://www.hafufilm.com.

As many of you know, 1 in 18 marriages in Japan (and 1 in 10 in Tokyo)
are international marriages. Even more surprising, is that 1 in 30
babies born today are born to a family where at least one of the
parents is not Japanese. In order to address this growing diversity
with in Japan we began production of this film earlier this year.

However as this is an independent production, we are putting on a
sneak preview/fundraiser event  on June 12th to help us to continue
our work.

Below is the info. We hope you will join us in celebrating the growing
diversity in Japan!
