Between Goodbyes
Artist
Joto Sosnowski
The documentary film follows a Korean birth mother Ok Kyung and her daughter Mieke as they struggle to connect despite years of separation, fragile reunions, and coming out across cultures. Reframing adoption as a form of family separation, the film shines a light on the unique realities of birth families of queer adoptees, and how being queer adoptee requires a coming out or coming to terms with oneself.
