Coming to You (2021) is coming to Southern California in May 2023. It is a powerful, groundbreaking documentary film about two women confronting bigotry and redefining their relationship with their gay and transgender (adult) kids, made by a filmmaker working with the acclaimed queer feminist film collective, PINKS (연분홍치마). The film thoughtfully represents the work of PFLAG Korea (Parents and Families of LGBTAIQ People in Korea), an important chapter in LGBTQ activism in South Korea and beyond.

Coming to You has fostered critical conversations through international film festivals and community screenings in South Korea, though it has not yet been widely screened in the U.S. The film makes an important contribution to equity, diversity, and social justice, and it will resonate with queer and trans youth, families and allies, students, activists, and community builders and advocates throughout Southern California. For more information, see:
“I love as you are,” a short video from 2016 Korea Queer Culture Festival.
“A letter from a Korean mother to all the mothers with LGBT children” (2017)
“Parents fight for their LGBTQ children’s rights” (2020)

Join us for a screening of the film, followed by a panel discussion with guests Byun Gyu-ri, director; Nabi (Jeong Eun-ae); Vivian (Kang Sun-hwa), Sung Tse from SGV API PFLAG; KSP Youth Participant Chloe Kim Manilay, moderated by Ju Hui Judy Han, UCLA Gender Studies.

ASL interpretation and Korean/ English translation will be provided.
