Happy Cleaners

April 19, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Join us on Wednesday April 19 on Zoom for a virtual discussion with Julian Kim and Peter S. Lee (co-directors and writers) and Kat Kim (producer and writer) of Happy Cleaners, a Korean American film.

About the Film:
When a new landlord comes around, Mr. and Mrs. Choi find their dry cleaning business, Happy Cleaners in Flushing, Queens, in jeopardy of closing after 17 years. While they make every effort to save the business, their daughter Hyunny and son Kevin are also at their own tough crossroads of life under the pressure of their parents’ high hopes. Struggling through economic turmoil, cultural clashes, and generational divide, the Choi family realizes that the only way to be stronger is to embrace each other.
