AKA Adoptee Forum

“Side by Side: Out of a South Korean Orphanage and Into the World” is a multi-platform documentary project revealing 60+ years of inter-country adoption through first-person stories. Conceptualized and directed by Korean-born adoptee, Glenn Morey, and co-director, Julie Morey, “Side by Side” documents the singular, deeply personal, lived experiences of adoptees. By empowering adult adoptee voices, we move beyond overly simplistic and reductive narratives like rescue and compassion, and the complexities of transracial and transcultural adoption are revealed. “Side by Side” was five years in the making and released in 2018.
At this special screening, Glenn Morey will join us to discuss the emotional content within his film and provide insights into his intent and the challenges faced in completing this masterful documentary.
