It is with profound heartbreak that we announce the passing of founding Mu Films Board member and Board President, Helen S. Kim. Helen was a source of light, wisdom, and love for us all. As Board President, she guided us through multiple productions about the Korean War, Korean transnational adoption, and the movement for peace and reconciliation on the Korean Peninsula. She had a deep understanding of and commitment to our work and grounded our organization with compassion, generosity, and joy. She will be dearly missed. Memories and photos can be shared here.
During and after the Korean War, thousands of mixed-race children were abandoned by their American GI fathers, stigmatized by Korean society, and sent to be adopted by couples in the West. Today many are searching for their original families, initiating unexpected discoveries about self, family, race, and culture. Relative Strangers follows their stories, uncovering the racial and social inequalities of the world’s largest international adoption program, and its impact on individuals and societies.
In this powerful tale about the rise of Korea’s global adoption program, four adult adoptees return to their country of birth and recover the personal histories that were lost when they were adopted. Along the way there are discoveries and dead ends, as well as mysteries that will never be unraveled.
In Crossings, a group of international women peacemakers, including renowned activists Gloria Steinem and Christine Ahn, sets out on a risky journey across the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea, calling for an end to a 70-year war that has divided the Korean peninsula and its people.
