A tender and sweeping story about what roots us, Minari follows a Korean-American family that moves to a tiny Arkansas farm in search of their own American Dream. The family home changes completely with the arrival of their sly, foul-mouthed, but incredibly loving grandmother, played by Youn Yih-jung who scooped an Oscar and a BAFTA. for her performance. While the father takes on his own personal challenge to grow and sell his on Korean produce on their land.
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.
The film will be introduced by Megan Larmer, Exeter University PhD student and Senior Director of Regional Food Programmes for Glynwood Centre for Regional Food and Farming, in conversation with Christina Chan of East Asian vegetable producer Choy Division, which is based in the Hudson Valley, USA when Megan conducts research.
