Join us for a sneak preview of Resilience, a documentary film that takes a unique look at international adoption from the perspective of a Korean birth mother and her American son. From an emotional first reunion on national television to subsequent meetings and departures, the two struggle with 30 years of separation, and two countries, families, languages, and cultures. Resilience touches on issues about birth mothers, adoptees, and adoptive families everywhere.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with filmmakers Tammy Chu and Jessica Windt.
