On this episode, we check out the Japanese film, Drive My Car, which has been getting a lot of Oscar buzz after winning awards at Cannes and the Golden Globes. Based on a Murakami short story, Drive My Car is a contemplative film about a widower who travels to Hiroshima to mount a multi-lingual production of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya, while dealing with the grief of losing his wife 2 years prior through bonding with his assigned driver.

Listen to Inheriting from LAist & NPR

"Inheriting" is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In doing so, the show seeks to break apart the AAPI monolith and tell a fuller story of these communities. In each episode, NPR’s Emily Kwong sits down with one family and facilitates deeply emotional conversations between their loved ones, exploring how their most personal, private moments are an integral part of history. Through these stories, we show how the past is personal and how to live with the legacies we’re constantly inheriting. New episodes premiere every Thursday.
