Watch Somewhere Between Movie Online No Survey In profiling Chinese adoptees in contemporary America, Linda Goldstein Knowlton's deeply moving documentary illustrates that even the most specific of experiences can be universally relatable. Of the roughly 80,000 girls who have been adopted from China since 1989-a decade after China implemented its One Child Policy-the film intimately follows four teenagers: Haley, Jenna, Ann, and Fang. These four wise-beyond-their-years, yet typical American teens, reveal a heartbreaking sense of self-awareness as they attempt to answer the uniquely human question, "Who am I?" They meet and bond with other adoptees, some journey back to China to reconnect with the culture, and some reach out to the orphaned girls left behind. In their own ways, all attempt to make sense of their complex identities. Issues of belonging, race, and gender are brought to life through these articulate subjects, who approach life with honesty and open hearts. -- (C) Official Site Release Date Somewhere Between Aug 24, 2012 Limited

Review For Somewhere Between
There's not much interpersonal drama here, and the little that materializes gets promptly resolved. Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader Watching this movie, I feel the need to run to the mall or someplace, and find a Chinese baby to hug. Or, at least, I can hug my own daughters. Omer Mozaffar-Chicago Sun-Times A very affecting piece. Joanne Ostrow-Denver Post Documentarian Linda Goldstein Knowlton follows four teenage adoptees as they sort through the sensitive cultural and personal issues that arise from their dual identities. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune These girls - and Ruby - have traveled far, on a journey not yet finished; you sense, though, that they know their way home. Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times All the girls in this film speak candidly. Sometimes their words sound like poetry. Sometimes their words are poetry. Janice Page-Boston Globe Adoption docu is heartwarming and emotional. S. Jhoanna Robledo-Common Sense Media The film shows the girls as reassuringly normal, which is good for their psyches but not particularly exciting to movie audiences. Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune In this poignant movie we meet four Chinese-born teenagers who are living with American parents from Berkeley to Boston. Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch It finally boils down to people who care about other people, and it's enough to restore your faith in humanity. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express Intimate and compelling. All four of the teens' stories and experiences featured are enlightening. Fr. Chris Carpenter-Movie Dearest Exceptionally well-made and emotionally riveting documentary...A celebration of the very best in human nature and a trove of delightful, thrilling and even suspenseful moments. Doris Toumarkine-Film Journal International Chinese girls in white American households navigate adolescence. . .in middle-class families [not] in diverse, urban settings to take complicated turns to their birth country Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com For what often feels like an obligatory "Where Are They Now?" DVD extra, the documentary is surprisingly affecting. Kalvin Henely-Slant Magazine
