David Shadrack Smith is an honorary member of the Mongolian Equestrian Society, a documentary filmmaker and erstwhile resident of Beijing. He writes from New York:
For those of you that have televisions, I strongly urge you to tune in this Sunday (June 20 at 8pm on MSNBC – National Geographic Explorer) for an amazing and moving film about adopting Chinese baby girls. We went to China this winter to follow a group of Americans through the process and along the way explored some of implications of what’s going on in China and with the families who return to America with new Chinese daughters.
This is, as far as we know, the first film of its kind — we were given
phenomenal access in China and with the families. It’s a very intimate
and emotional film and I hope you’ll get to see it.
For those of you in the DC area, there is a screening on Sunday
night (8pm) at Visions cinema.
