“The Farewell” is an award-winning 2019 comedy. The film stars Awkwafina as Billi, a Chinese American who returns to China with her family, planning a fake wedding in order to stealthily say goodbye to her beloved grandmother. Though she is dying, the family avoids telling her that she only has a few weeks to live. We will watch the film and then engage in a conversation about the issues it raises relevant to cross-cultural bioethics and health humanities. In lieu of a catered dinner, a restaurant gift card will be provided.
