Carmel Mayor’s Youth Council celebrates Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month with International Movies at Midtown series

Submitted

Enjoy outdoor movies in Carmel with a foreign flair at International Movies at Midtown Plaza, hosted by the Carmel Mayor’s Youth Council (CMYC).

The international film series, launched in 2020 on the big Midtown screen, presents this month’s showing of The Way Home to celebrate May’s Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month. This film serves to educate the Carmel community on Korean culture and will be shown at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. this Saturday, May 29.

The CMYC film series initiative began as an opportunity for the Carmel community to view films they might not normally see.

“Not only are these films entertaining but they also serve as an educational tool,” said CMYC member Tsion Daniel. “Perhaps this can promote cross-cultural dialogue and awareness in our increasingly diverse city.”

The health and safety of the community remains at the forefront. Please be mindful of current COVID protocols while attending.

The Carmel Mayor’s Youth Council is a completely youth-led organization comprised of high school students who wish to make a tangible impact on the City of Carmel. The CMYC is an initiative started by Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard to empower the youth community. Throughout each term, members organize charitable events, participate in numerous volunteering initiatives, as well as stay involved in local government.
