Documentary: Approved for Adoption

The documentary Approved for Adoption is an incredible project from Belgian-Korean filmmaker Jung, who was adopted at 5 years old. The film, which is animated, explores his journey throughout life,including going back to his native homeland for the first time and meeting his Korean wife who is also adopted. It’s beautifully animated and does a wonderful job of telling Jung’s story while exploring the the multi-faceted mental and physical world of an adoptee.

Here are a couple of videos with clips from the film and an interview with Jung — we can’t wait to watch the entire film!
