Side by Side: Streaming and A Director's Talk

Media

Side by Side: Out of a South Korean Orphanage and Into the World weaves the stories of nine inter-country adoptees—selected out of 100 original interviews— as they recall their families of origin, their relinquishment to orphanages, and their adoptions and lives abroad. Starkly minimalist, Side by Side is composed entirely of intensely intimate, first-person narratives, filmed in Seattle, Chicago, Boston, New York City, Paris, Stockholm, Amsterdam, and Melbourne.

This extraordinary documentary will be available for free streaming for three days, July 18-20.

Co-director and Producer Glenn Morey will join the Korea Society for a director's talk on July 20.

Due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), this program will be conducted virtually. Streaming and live webcast will be provided free of charge at the specified date and time. A limited number of viewing links will be provided to the people who sign up through the form below. Those unable to view the live session will have the opportunity to watch the recorded video or listen to the podcast soon after.
