I Could Live In The World Just Like A Stranger I Could Tell You The Truth Or A Lie I Could Tell You That

“Somewhere Between” is a documentary by Linda Goldstein Knowlton about the story of four teenage girls who were adopted from different parts of China. According to the documentary’s trailer, about 80,000 girls have been adopted from China since 1999, due to factors such as the one-child policy and a cultural preference to having male children. The four girls, Haley, Jenna, Ann, and Fang, go through a journey of self-identity of belonging, race, and gender through different means. Some go back to China they were born in to delve in deeper to their Chinese culture; they all meet and bond with other adoptees. Through this documentary, they try to answer the universal question of “Who am I?”

Art of the Title part 3

I love this up to about 0:24, when the title starts to shrink, which distracts from the actors credits, which are in a font something like what the crappy 70's cartoon version of the lord of the rings credits might be....
