Minari
Director: Lee Isaac Chung

The family home changes completely with the arrival of their sly, foul-mouthed, but incredibly loving grandmother. Amidst the instability and challenges of this new life in the rugged Ozarks, Minari shows the undeniable resilience of family and what really makes a home. 2021. 1 h 55 m. No post film discussion to follow.
Monterey Park Tragedy Community Processing Space
MCC Lounge
The MCC is hosting a collective and safe space for healing and to process the senseless violence against the AAPI community during a Lunar New Year Celebration. It is devastating when children, friends, families, and communities cannot celebrate their cultures and connections in their sacral ways and spaces without experiencing hatred and violence.
Today and this week may feel heavy, please prioritize your emotional and mental wellness. If you or someone you know need communal support, please join us today at the MCC Lounge from 1:30-3:30PM for a healing and processing space.
This space will substitute for Spiritual Care Club and be one of many healing spaces provided by campus this week. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
