Given Away

What does it mean to adopted and brought up far away from your country of birth? In ā€œGiven Away,ā€ this weekā€™s moving new Op-Doc by directors Glenn and Julie Morey, Korean adoptees who grew up in Western countries reflect on the complicated emotional terrain that theyā€™ve navigated in their lives. Glenn Morey was himself adopted from Korea in the wake of the Korean war, and the directors have channeled that connection to create a beautifully nuanced and emotional film. As the Moreys write of Glennā€™s experience interviewing adoptees, ā€œHe has needed others like him ā€¦ to help him make sense of his life. They have also helped him make peace with the universe.ā€
