PHILADELPHIA ASIAN AMERICAN FILM FESTIVAL
2018 PACIFIC SHOWCASE

The Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival warmly invites you to the 2018 Pacific Showcase. We have curated an excellent program focusing on Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities this year—the best yet. These are gorgeous, timely, and award-winning documentary and short films that feature the phenomenal voices and talents of these communities that have been overlooked for too long. We are so excited to share them with you.

CORRIDOR FOUR (with Q&A)
Sunday, November 18 | 5:45PM–6:45PM | Asian Arts Initiative, 1219 Vine Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107

The image of the American hero is challenged in this heartfelt portrait of 9/11 Pentagon first-responder Isaac Ho’opi’i. A nationally recognized K9 Unit Officer, Isaac Ho’opi’i was responsible for saving numerous people from the Pentagon during the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Countless articles were written about his heroism following 9/11, and he even ran the Olympic Torch on its way to Salt Lake City for the 2002 Winter Olympics. After the news cameras had been turned off and the lights dimmed, Isaac was left with the horrific images he had seen and the memory of those he was unable to save. CORRIDOR FOUR is a feature-length documentary that illustrates Isaac’s story in the first-ever look at how the Pentagon handled mental health care in the aftermath of 9/11. Officer Ho’opi’i is expected in attendance for a post-film Q&A.
