Professor Matthew Hashiguuchi’s film “Good Luck Soup”, is the feature of the 2021 Ogeechee International History Film Festival, the longest- running film festival of its kind in the world. 

This film will be available to stream now through March 5. 

The 2021 Film will be the first in its 5-year history to be all virtual. Films in this festival are historical nonfiction and will feature topics such as the history of labor, film, genocide, the World Wars and African American History.

“It has never been easier to attend the festival,” said GS graduate student and festival coordinator Lauren Hartke.

Hashiguchi’s film is a personal documentary about his family’s experience of living in a predominantly white community in Ohio while learning to embrace his Japanese heritage. 

“Specifically for Georgia Southern students, I would hope that through my film they’d see that race and cultural identities, or issues, aren’t limited to Black or white perspectives,” said Hashiguchi.
