Truly moving.

Rating: 8/10 (31 July 2017)

I really loved it! I'm working with adoptees and they suggested this movie as it tackles the inner feelings an adoptee would feel toward its desire to find its roots.
I believe it was really moving to put myself in their shoes and experience their questioning, doubts and strong needs to discover where they come from. I was moved throughout the entire film, whether it was in the condition Sheru has live in, and his quest to find his family.
His journey to find them is filled with memories, questions and even obsessions. Everything an adoptee would experience at some point in their life, I think. At the end, I couldn't help myself and cried, especially when I realized it was a true story.
If you are an adoptee yourself, you'll be able to relate at certain levels. If you are not, like me, it is a journey through their thoughts and unanswered questions.
