Stories that Need to be Told—A
Film Screening by an Award-
winning Japanese-Canadian
Speaker:
Linda Ohama
Linda Ohama, a Japanese-Canadian filmmaker and
visual artist, will show and discuss her international
award-winning film, Obaachan’s Garden, the story of a
remarkable journey of strength, love and determination
of one woman`s life of over 100 years. This is a moving
film about the life of Asayo Imamoto Murakami, born in
Onomichi, Hiroshima-ken, who was sent to Canada in
1923. She was the last picture bride living in Canada
when she passed away just short of her 105th birthday.
Her first home and flower garden in Canada are now a
national historic site and museum. Ohama, the
granddaughter of the film’s heroine, will share some
behind-the-scenes experiences of the making of this film
and also speak of her work on her next film. Ohama will
also speak about her artwork and the community work
she has been involved in both in Canada and Japan.
Doors open at 1:30, presentation starts at 2:00.

is an accomplished filmmaker, visual artist, educator,
and an active citizen, strongly committed to preserving
cultural heritage and promoting educational and cultural
exchange. Her artwork and films have received
