15 Seconds of Fame :: A Documentary on Chinese Adoptees

Over the winter, I was approached by two Korean adoptee documentary filmmakers who were making a film about Chinese adoptees and their families using the history and perspective of Korean adoptees as a lens into their own lives and futures. I found this approach to be novel and worthwhile, so I agreed to be interviewed. It was an interesting experience to be filmed. It took place in my office over a 2 or 3 hour period. I remember them fussing over my hair (it was too spikey), changing my furnishings (it was too messy), positioning books (to make me more scholarly), and asking me to repeat things over and over again because I goofed or a grad student was talking too loud in the background.

Well, many months later, they have put up some clips on the website as a preview to the documentary. Check it out at PointMade under "documentary." You will need Quicktime to view the snippets.
