Black Family: Outside Looking In: Transracial Adoption In America 56mins
Produced by Phil Bertelsen
As a black child adopted by white parents in the 1970s and raised in a predominantly white suburb, Director Phil Bertelsen's adolescence was shaped by fond memories of a loving family as well as by difficult periods of self-examination and self-doubt. With the film OUTSIDE LOOKING IN: Transracial Adoption in America, Bertelsen goes behind the camera to introduce three families with transracially adopted children of three different generations, growing up in three different regions of the country. The director examines his 11-year-old nephew's adoption and also reveals the dramatic story of a white couple trying to adopt a black child today.
