Somewhere Between

documentary

Well done examination of the lives of young women who have been adopted from China by American parents. They live uncertain of their identities, their place. All live with the knowledge that they were abandoned by their birth parents; many think they have no chance of finding their roots.

We follow four teenagers and their efforts to find others like themselves. One girl does locate her birth family and we follow along with that reunion. Most were victims of poverty, the one-child policy and the cultural need for sons.
