REEL SOUTH
The Space Between You & Me
By Lily Ahree Siegel
Two Korean-American adoptees meet their birth mothers for the first time.
A Korean-American filmmaker from Alabama explores the complexities of international adoption through the stories of her birth mother and another adoptee in New York. THE SPACE BETWEEN YOU AND ME is an effort to reclaim a stolen identity while searching for belonging between the worlds of the Jewish South, the Korean-American diaspora, and a fraught legacy of Korean adoption programs.
