Orchards helps support the Hafu film project

Hafu is a documentary film-in-the-making about the mixed-race experience in Japan. On Indiegogo.com the filmmakers are now trying to raise $10,000 to enable them to complete their project. There are some great perks for donating, including a copy of the film, music, and books (including five copies of Orchards). Check out the Hafu film page on Indiegogo.com.

This film evolved out of the Half Japanese Project, which aims to create a dialogue between cultures. It's a fascinating project with a great website that I've been following for several years and have used in my university discussion classes. Links to some interesting videos are at the bottom of their web page.

I'm so looking forward to the release of this film Hafu. Year by year Japan is becoming more multicultural, and year by year more mixed-race children are born in Japan. This cultural diversity deserves far more attention and celebration.
