IN THE MATTER OF CHA JUNG HEE – 2010, USA, 64m, dir: Deann Borshay Liem

Acclaimed filmmaker Liem seeks answers about her adoption as a Korean child, and how she came to live for 40 years under an identity she knew was not her own.

RESILIENCE – 2010, South Korea, 75m, dir: Tammy Chu

Each year, thousands of children are sent to the West for adoption. South Korea has sent more children than any other country, an estimated 200,000 over the past 55 years. Despite being one of the world’s strongest economies, it   continues to do so. With every new family created by adoption, another family gets torn apart.
