Meeting Room A

Come watch the documentary "Because She's Adopted". After the movie, the documentary creator, Kristal Parke, will Zoom in for a Q & A. Hosted with Journey Together - a local group for adult adoptees.

Learn about the complexities of identity, belonging, and emotional weight associated with being adopted. Enjoy the perspective of the adoptees who are often overshadowed in common discourse surrounding this topic. Recognized with multiple awards, including Best Canadian Documentary at the Vancouver International Movie Awards, "Because She’s Adopted" is a testament to Kristal’s ability to capture deeply personal stories with authenticity and impact.

This event is free and open to the public.
