The Return film screening
We are pleased to present this magnificent adoptee-created and -directed feature film about finding one’s roots. If you have already seen it, this is your chance to discuss your thoughts and reactions with other adoptees; if not, don’t miss this experience!

“Two Danish-Korean adoptees return to their native land to seek some answers about their birth parents in Danish helmer Malene Choi’s compelling, beautifully shot, docu-fiction hybrid The Return. The fictional framework permits a gripping, quasi-experimental approach to the cinematography, editing and sound design while still leaving room for impactful documentary scenes. Based on the filmmaker’s own experience and that of many others she interviewed, the film registers strongly as a provocative mood piece about loneliness and belonging.”
– Variety
