Coming To You
(2021) is a powerful, groundbreaking documentary film about two women confronting bigotry and redefining their relationship with their queer and transgender (adult) children, made by a filmmaker (Byun Gyu-ri) working with the acclaimed queer feminist film collective, PINKS(). After a screening of the film, Dr. Ju Hui Judy Han (UCLA Gender Studies) moderated a post-screening panel discussion between filmmaker Byun Gyu-ri, cast members Jeon Eun-ae (Nabi) and Kang Sun-hwa (Vivian), Sung Tse from SGV API PFLAG, and KSP Youth Participant Chloe Kim Manilay. The panel addressed the film’s important contribution to equity, diversity, and social justice, and how it will resonate with queer and trans youth, families and allies, students, activists, and community builders and advocates throughout Southern California. Critical conversations across the panel and within the audience took place on the film’s ongoing relevance and concluded on Byun Gyu-ri’s response in seeing a future where the GYOPO community can continue to voice and support LGBTQ+ communities and their families.
