Three short films by Jaemi Lee, Jae Lew, Caroline So Jung Lee, Alice Il Shin, followed by Joseph Juhn's feature documentary, Jeronimo: The Untold Tale of Koreans in Cuba, and a live filmmaker Q&A.

From a chance encounter with a Korean Cuban taxi driver, Director Joseph Juhn picks up the scent of a remarkable tale - and fortunately for all of us, he has the presence of mind to start filming. Jeronimo Lim is a fascinating character, and would be worthy of documenting in film in his own right. But beyond his personal charm and accomplishments, his biography provides a unique view into an often overlooked intersection of the Korean Diaspora and Latin American history. Juhn provides a platform for Lim’s family and other Korean Cubans to share their compelling stories.
