This documentary was fantastic

This documentary is an incredible look at identity, and how people are viewed within both their communities and by people outside the communities who want to exercise unnecessary power over people.

The way this movie displays identity is quite interesting as it discusses adoption and how Josiah's identity is influenced by being adopted into the nation, and his family structure. This is a wonderful documentary, and it is deeply heartfelt. One of my key takeaways from this is that identity is about nationhood, and the people with whom you grow up with, and live with. It then looks at what happens when that identity is unfairly challenged, and the betrayal that comes with it. This a film in which you become invested in the people that are being discussed. I would definitely recommend watching it!
