Chosen: Film Screening and Director Q&A

Media

Join us to watch Chosen, a documentary that follows five Korean Americans of vastly diverse backgrounds with competing political views as they run for US Congress in 2020. David Kim is the only underdog with limited resources vying to be the first Korean American representative in Koreatown. Director Joseph Juhn joins for an intimate Q&A session after the film in conversation with policy program officer Chelsie Alexandre, providing opportunities for audience members to ask questions. This event is free, but we encourage donations to Joseph Juhn (suggested amount $20).

This program will be released as a video on Friday, March 24

About the Speaker:

 

Joseph Juhn is a lawyer-turned-filmmaker with passion for diasporic narratives. His latest documentary, "CHOSEN", sheds light on the struggles and triumphs of five Korean Americans who ran for US Congress in 2020, and has been praised by audiences and critics alike since its release in Korean theaters in 2022. Joseph's debut feature documentary, "JERONIMO", released in 2019, explored the life of a Korean Cuban revolutionary named, Jeronimo Lim, and inspired a discourse on the concept of Korean diaspora in both the US and Korea. Prior to working on “JERONIMO” full-time, Joseph was an in-house counsel at the Manhattan-based South Korean government agency (KOTRA) for 4 years where he advised Korean companies and entrepreneurs on US intellectual property and startup law. Joseph studied Film and Video at UC San Diego and got his JD at Syracuse University College of Law.
