Adoption Stories Continue on P.O.V.

Posted on September 13, 2010
P.O.V. continues its focus on adoption stories this month with In The Matter of Cha Jung Hee, Tuesday night (check local listings). In the 1960s, the Sun Duck Orphanage in South Korea switched the identities of two orphans when an American family adopted one of them. Filmmaker Deann Borshay Liem goes on a quest to search for her “double” — a girl named Cha Jung Hee — in an attempt to resolve a case of mistaken identity and in the process explores the complexities of international transracial adoptions. Last Tuesday, P.O.V. aired another ITVS-funded film on adoption, Off and Running.
