DESCRIPTION:Join us for the premiere screening of a new documentary film ex
 ploring the struggles and obsessions of Shin Miyata\, a Tokyo&amp;ndash\;based
  record label owner\, music promoter\, and cultural ambassador who has bee
 n distributing Chicano music and bringing East Los Angeles bands to Japan 
 for nearly 20 years.\n\nThe film explores Miyata&amp;rsquo\;s personal connect
 ion to East LA\, the joys and difficulties of introducing authentic and di
 verse representations of Chicano culture to Japan\, and the conscious effo
 rts Miyata has made to break stereotypes on both sides of the Pacific.\n\n
 Directed by Akira Boch\,&amp;nbsp\;&lt;em&gt;Our Man in Tokyo&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp\;is a produc
 tion of JANM&amp;rsquo\;s Frank H. Watase Media Arts Center. Screening will be
  followed by a panel discussion with Miyata\, who is flying in from Tokyo 
 for this event\, Boch\, and the members of El Haru Kuroi\, an East LA trio
  whose unique compositions draw from their upbringing in the city as well 
 as elements of Mexican\, South American\, African\, and American jazz musi
 c. El Haru Kuroi will also perform.\n\nIncluded with&amp;nbsp\;&lt;a href=&quot;http:/
