This documentary tries (and succeeds) to question the decisions of French families to adopt children from other countries. Very thought-provoking. I loved how it centered the voices of adopted adults, and would sometimes draw parallels between those stories and other older archives. I can only regret, however, the images of dead Rwandan bodies when talking about the Tutsi genocide. It felt gratuitous.

[CPH:DOX] Through interviews with five young people adopted in France, the director offers a complex vision of adoption from the point of view of children. We only hear the voices of the interviewees, as they narrate experiences, especially the moment they became aware that they had other parents. There are different points of view, but a common feeling that the secrecy is not positive for adopted children.
