About Aoki the Documentary
AOKI is a documentary film chronicling the life of Richard Aoki (1938-2009), a third-generation Japanese American who became one of the founding members of the Black Panther Party. Filmed over the last five years of Richard’s life, this documentary features extensive footage with Richard and exclusive interviews with his comrades, friends, and former students.
Musical Score
I scored the entire film utilizing instruments and sounds indicative of the era (late 60s early 70s) as well as Japanese instruments to capture scenes depicting his ancestry.
