ADOPTION FILMS

    www.itvs.org/outsidelookingin
    www.bigmouthproductions.com
    "Outside Looking In" features three American families brought together-and at times pushed apart-by transracial adoption. Filmmaker and transracial adoptee Phil Bertelsen examines the bonds and strains that family members can experience when white couples decide to adopt black children. Through the stories of three generations of adoptees, the film explores how transracial adoption Has changed since the early 1970s. This film is an important resource for parents considering transracial adoption.
    "Outside Looking In" is a presentation of the Independent Television Service (ITVS) with funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the National Black Programming Consortium.
