In the Matter of Cha Jung Hee

In the Matter of Cha Jung Hee is a feature-length documentary that serves as a follow-up to Deann Borshay Liem’s earlier film, First Person Plural. In the film, she searches for her “double” – a girl named Cha Jung Hee – in an attempt to resolve a case of mistaken identity that took place when she was adopted by an American family in 1966. The search for Cha Jung Hee serves as a springboard for exploring complex ethical and socio/political questions involving international transracial adoptions, and the impact these issues have on individuals and families. Produced in association with the Katahdin Foundation, and co-produced by Charlotte Lagarde, the film is currently in production.
