Wake Forest hosts filmmaker Julian Semilian

Professor of Religious Studies and American Ethnic Studies Ulrike Wiethaus, and Assistant Teaching Professor in Anthropology Andrew Gurstelle recently hosted a screening of Julian Semilian’s new documentary film, “The Unrestricted Life of Ted Fujioka.”

In the film, Semilian, a professor at University of North Carolina School of the Arts, examines the significance of Fujioka’s life – from being interned as a child during the Second World War to dispensing Buddhist wisdom as an adult. For more on the film, see this article in the Winston-Salem Journal.

This event was sponsored, in part, by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
