A new documentary about a 12-year old Ethiopian girl adopted to the U.S.
Adopt Me, Michael Jordan follows Weynshet, a twelve-year
old girl who travels from an Ethopian orphanage to an adoptive
family in the US. In this work-in-progress documentary,
the award-winning producing team of Melanie Judd
and Susan Motamed focus on the experiences of a child,
illuminating the complications of international adoption
and raising the question of what it means to lose everything
you know in order to get what you need.

I went to the screening of this event on Friday night and it will be a very thought-provoking documentary once it is finished. Right now it’s at a “rough-cut” stage. They wanted feedback from the audience. The filmmakers were very thoughtful (although only one spoke) and the two panelists were a wonderful addition to the screening, but I wish they were given more time to speak and more topics to speak upon.
