This movie, "Finding Seoul" is incredibly touching and told in the director's voice, which is the voice of a man much loved by his adoptive family and who very much loves them.
John Sanvidge takes us through multiple reels of his childhood family videos interspersed with footage of recent conversations with the family who adopted him. We see how utterly normal and close his adoptive family is, yet learn about the "holes" as John himself puts it, that adoption can leave in an adoptee's sense of self. "Finding Seoul" is a movie that I would encourage every parent who has adopted a child to watch. The notion that EVERY adoptive parent must grow to understand is poignantly and clearly presented in "Finding Seoul:" that your child's search for birth family is unrelated to and does not reflect upon the quality of your parenting or the depth of your child's love for you. It is, rather, very simply your child's search for wholeness. Beautifully done!
