OKINAWA PHILADELPHIA(2024)
A black soldier's memoirs told through the photographs of Mao Ishikawa
OKINAWA PHILADELPHIA Synopsis
An Okinawan photographer, Mao Ishikawa was 33 years old when she crossed the ocean to Philadelphia in order to photograph the life of her friend, Myron Carr, a former US marine whom she met during his service in Okinawa in the 1970s. The subsequent photo book, “Life in Philly”, is filled with raw and vivid images, capturing the atmosphere and the culture of the predominantly African American neighborhood of downtown Philadelphia in the late 80s. This film looks back on those days, bringing Myron to remembrance as Mao and his surviving family try to find the missing pieces.
OKINAWA PHILADELPHIA (2024) is a documentary film directed by Hiroshi Sunairi, released on August 15, 2024 with a runtime of 56m. It stars Mao Ishikawa, QUAN CARR and MICHELLE CARR.
