This documentary is about the last two Dominican friars and the impact they and their fellow Dominican brothers had for the past 82 years on the history and development of central South Texas, and how their presence assisted many Mexican-Americans struggle against racism, which bespeaks of the experiences of many in the Southwest. It’s the universal story of people grappling to accept each other as equals. The Mexican-American experience traces its roots to the Spanish Conquista—a wrestling match of greed and brutality against equality and Salvation—as well as to the story of Cain and Abel. This film unfolds in interviews, special effects and graphics, music, and original poetry. |

SOUL ODYSSEY - IN SEARCH OF EURASIA
This film follows my travel across the Eurasian continent. While living in the United States, for the first time in my life people began calling me Asian. I recall that I was not born an Asian, but rather became Asian. At that time, I encountered German artist Joseph Beuys and Korean artist Nam June Paik’s life-long artistic collaboration called “EURASIA”. With this project, they aimed to unite a separated Europe and Asia into the single continental culture of EURASIA. To realize their dream of EURASIA, I journeyed alone, crossing 13 countries, from Berlin, Germany to my hometown in Shizuoka, Japan. |
