InnerGen X EBN Present The Empathizer & The Motherland Showcase

​Join InnerGenerational and Embarrassed by Night for the Canadian premiere of The Empathizer(@empathizerdoc) - a documentary about Vietnam! The hourlong award-winning film is an exploration of second-generation identity and inheritance, told through interviews with overseas-born Vietnamese immigrants who made the choice to move back to the land their parents fled.

​🎞️ This special documentary presentation features both Vietnamese and English subtitles, and will be followed by a discussion with the filmmaker Fred Le.

​🎭 AND THEN! Stick around for a special collaborative showcase with performances by the Ontario-based artists collective InnerGenerational (@inner.generation) and the all-Vietnamese standup show Embarrassed by Night (@embarrassedbynight) featuring comedians from the film and special guests :
