The
Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco is pleased to announce the
October 20th, 6:30 pm viewing of "Made in China," the story
of adopted Chinese children in Canada.
At
a time when adoption of Asian children by North Americans is both
more prevalent and controversial, "Made in China" looks
at a handful of the 8,000 babies adopted from China by Canadian families
since 1989. "Made in China" is a moving portrait of several
remarkable children and their adoptive families whose stories are
powerful, sad, humorous, and inspirational. 
The
children, age 5-13, explain how they deal with issues of race, racism,
biological identity and whether they will return to China to search
for their roots. Their stories reflect their inner conflicts and how
they have come to terms with their hybrid identities. The film is
the winner of the Best Feature Documentary at the San Diego Asian
Film Festival, the Canada Award at the 16th Annual Gemini Awards in
Toronto.
