AsiaLENS presents a free screening of the film Hug Me Tight: A Robot Story, followed by a virtual Q&A with filmmakers Heesun Shin and Chihyung Jeon. In South Korea, thousands of older adults are living with Hyodol, a doll-shaped robot. Following the journey of Hydol from production to use, this film asks: Can robots take care of older adults? Can older adults take care of the robot? How should we take care of each other? (Run time 61 min.)
