Watch the trailer
SASF would like to share with you the KINTSUKUROI film screening at The Buddhist Church of Sacramento on Saturday, October 12th at 1-5PM.
KINTSUKUROI
Noun
- the Japanese art of repairing pottery using gold
- the strength and beauty found in something that has been broken
Like every immigrant family, the Itos came to the United States to build a better life. After years of struggle and sacrifice, the dream that was America seemed within their grasp.
Then the world changed forever …
With a stroke of his pen, President Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 and effectively destroyed the lives of 120,000 Japanese Americans at the onset of WWII.
KINTSUKUROI follows members of the Ito family from their pre-war life in San Francisco’s Japantown to the concentration camps of the American West to the battlefields of Europe as they struggle to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. The film features Ryan Takemiya, Kealani Kitaura, Ken Takeda, Ron Munekawa, Kiyomi Koide and Chizu Omori.
The Buddhist Church of Sacramento is pleased to partner with Ikeibi Film Company to bring a special screening of KINTSUKUROI to the local community in celebration of the Buddhist Church of Sacramento's 125th Anniversary.

"I grew up in this program, first in summer basketball league and giving back as a basketball coach and referee. This organization does so much for the communities of Sacramento and Elk Grove. Their dedication to youth development through sports and leadership programs include teen women empowerment, a talent show completely organized by youth, and basketball, ages 7-18. They have added new programs to address teen mental health, and sports programs and a fishing derby for special needs youth. Pickleball for Seniors continues to grow by leaps and bounds. An anticipated program with SMUD includes classes on the use of modern and efficient kitchen equipment."
