Approved for Adoption Official Trailer (HD) Animation
– “Approved for Adoption” Official Trailer (HD) Animation
This remarkable animated documentary traces the unconventional upbringing of the filmmaker Jung Henin, one of thousands of Korean children adopted by Western families after the end of the Korean War. It is the story of a boy stranded between two cultures. Animated vignettes — some humorous and some poetic — track Jung from the day he first meet his new blond siblings, through elementary school, and into his teenage years, when his emerging sense of identity begins to create fissures at home and ignite the latent biases of his adoptive parents. The filmmaker tells his story using his own animation intercut with snippets of super-8 family footage and archival film. The result is an animated memoir like no other: clear-eyed and unflinching, humorous, and above all, inspiring in the capacity of the human heart.

i haven't seen it….but that's almost like my life story =) it's gotta be good.
considering this takes place after the Korean war, this literally has nothing to do with "kids these days". that kid was born in the 50's
time for a Feel Trip
awesome.
Agreed, looks very nice. A different kind of "anime" for a change. Looks a bit like the style in the "The Walking Dead"-game, and I loved that style! Will watch 😀
You know how contradicting that sounds. If the boy was vietnamese, you would be right, but Korean War actually has a strong significance and meaning to South Korea, fighting for freedom from N. Korean forces and won thanks to a risky counter-attack in Incheon lead by MacArthur and US forces. This is Korean War, not Vietnam where they messed up, US forces actually did something meaningful. South Korea is now a powerful economic/technological force. They even have a statue of MacArthur in Korea.
this kid looks like he needs more understanding parents

wow, his parents looked like horrible parents.. who lets people like this adopt children?
