Apr 28, 2020 This was a disappointment for so many reasons. First off, it was a very shallow dive. Secondly, it views these girls' being Chinese as almost a tragedy. It looks as this thing through an incredibly white lens, and poses no difficult questions. I have long assumed that people adopt internationally because they don't want to risk adopting a Black child, and something about this documentary just proves me right. The filmmaker clearly hates the Christian family in Nashville. Also, the score was manipulative. I can't watch this and feel much of anything--as I said, it was a pretty shallow dive--but the music sure did want me to know how to feel. I got the feeling this filmmaker is so incredibly white, and so insulated from minority issues, that she didn't even know what to ask. See more Alex R @AlexMVP Mar 22, 2014 Beautifully done! Some very powerful moments and you can see these 4 teens really grow as a result of the very challenging journey they're on. The film really captures their stories and developing characters in a very touching way.

Haley, Jenna, Ann, and Fang are incredibly strong young women, and America is so fortunate to be in their graces. See more Oct 3, 2013 Packing, so netflix-ed something random. WOW. "Everyone is on his/her own journey. Except for us the journey goes two ways - forward and backward..." One of the girls featured, Jenni, is captivating. 2 related take-aways for me. 1. Aren't we all on two-way journeys? 2. Experiences by themselves are superficial. It is how we structure and interpret our own stories that provide us their significance, and thus chart the ways forward. That means, optimistically, that a lot about our states of being (if not our circumstances) are well within our command.

If you are on Netflix, watch it. Why I watch this? Well, guess... See more Read all reviews
