(tickets sold out)
i'm really excited about this weeks new york premiere. not only is it the first screening in chris iijima's hometown, but its also happening at place that meant a lot to chris and his family, manhattan country school. m.c.s. where chris spent many years (1975-85) as a teacher, the place where he met his wife jane (who was also a teacher at the school) and where his sister lynne currently works.
here's chris with his 6th grade class at m.c.s. back in '82
akemi kochiyama (front row, middle) now works for m.c.s and is one of the main organizers of the friday's event!
