Eva HashiguchiSummary: When we think of Asian America, Cleveland is not the first place that comes to mind for most people. In GOOD LUCK SOUP, filmmaker Matthew Hashiguchi shows us why this often overlooked part of the country is as important as others in understanding the Asian American story. The journey for the Hashiguchi family begins with Matthew's grandmother, Eva, who moved to the Cleveland area following her family's internment during World War II. Though she and many other Japanese Americans were invited to the area, assimilating, working and living there was an ongoing struggle. These obstacles did not end with Eva and her generation. Eva's three children grew up in Cleveland's black and white neighborhoods in the 60s and 70s and also found it difficult to fit in. For filmmaker himself, the inability to fit in created a struggle with his own racial and cultural identity, and in GOOD LUCK SOUP, Matthew takes us on a personal journey to uncover and understand his racial identity while growing up mixed race in white suburbia. Winner of the Best Local Documentary Award at the **Chagrin Documentary Film Festival.** Official Selection at the **Cleveland International Film Festival.**
