Finding Carlos

Brayden Olson has spent his life wondering about the father he never knew. Armed with only a name, a faded photograph, and an improbable lead, he sets out across continents to uncover the mystery of Carlos. But as each revelation brings him closer to the truth, Brayden risks unraveling the life he’s always known — especially the bond with the mother who raised him alone. Raw, intimate, and deeply human, Finding Carlos explores identity, family, and the silent epidemic of fatherlessness.

Sometimes, finding your tribe requires a bit of magic. For attendees of a live action role-playing (LARP) camp in upstate New York, the deeply accepting environment has given neurodivergent, queer, and self-proclaimed "nerdy" teenagers the space and community for self-discovery that they have never found anywhere else.

Neighborhood Tokyo

1992 · ★ 7

Miyamoto-cho is a community of Mom-and-Pop stores and family enterprises located near the center of Tokyo. Competition from supermarkets and shopping centers threatens the livelihoods of long-term residents. High land prices tempt owners to tear down old homes and replace them with apartment buildings; this in turn is changing the composition of the population. Against this backdrop, residents strive to maintain the close social ties, symbols of local identity, and community rituals that keep Miyamoto-cho from becoming just another mailing address. Theodore Bestor began his research here in 1979. His prize winning book of the same name is available through Stanford University Press. This documentary is one of a series depicting the variety of life in today's Japan in the context of human problems common to all industrial nations. A comprehensive study guide is available.
