SYNOPSIS: After a realization at a family reunion, half Japanese-Canadian filmmaker, Jeff Chiba Stearns, embarks on a journey of self-discovery to find out why everyone in his Japanese-Canadian family married interracially after his grandparents' generation.

This feature live action and animated documentary explores why almost 100% of all Japanese-Canadians are marrying interracially, the highest out of any other ethnicity in Canada, and how their mixed children perceive their unique multiracial identities.

The stories from four generations of a Japanese-Canadian family come to life through the use of innovative animation techniques created by some of Canada's hottest independent animators, including, Louise Johnson, Ben Meinhardt, Todd Ramsay, Kunal Sen, Jeff Chiba Stearns, and Jonathan Ng. One Big Hapa Family challenges our perceptions of purity and makes us question if mixing is the end of multiculturalism as we know it.

An amazing lighthearted glimpse into ethnically diverse families in Canada from the perspective of a Canadian tracing his Japanese families history and life choices.

This movie really touched me and made me smile at the same time.

As someone who grew up and lives in a very ethnically diverse family this movie manages to cut to the heart of many of the questions and challenges we face in a hopeful, light hearted, and sincere way. A truly wonderful documentary about an amazing and beautiful Canadian family.

I *highly* recommend this documentary to anyone who has an ethnically mixed family, lives in an area where they are a minority, or has adopted family of other ethnicities. It will make you appreciate your happy hapa family all the more!
