Washington, DC Premiere

A poignant story about healing emotional wounds and overcoming one’s own prejudices, The Harimaya Bridge tells the story of Daniel, an African-American man who journeys to Japan in search of the truth about the death of his estranged son, Mickey. Daniel harbors strong feelings against the Japanese people—his own father was an American soldier who died in a Japanese prison camp during World War II. At first, Daniel rejects the hospitality of his Japanese hosts until a life-altering discovery forces him to reassess his feelings and actions. Written and directed by Columbia Film School alum Aaron Woolfolk, himself a former teacher in Japan, the film is a moving portrayal of the need for cultural understanding and the universal search for love.
The Harimaya Bridge is “part loving postcard to Japan, part redemption story reaching across both racial and cultural divides.” —Tom Long, Detroit News Film Critic
