Closing Film Found in Korea
Feature Documentary | 74 minutes | USA | Directed by Allison Lane, Kevyn Settle, and Nam Holtz
Every year, thousands of Korean children are given up for adoption. The majority end up leaving Korea, with many being adopted by white parents in the United States. Nam Holtz was one of these children. This feature documentary follows Nam on her first trip back to the place of her birth since being found on the street in 1975. Informative, emotional, and heartwarming – tissues recommended.
