About the film:

“An official selection of the 2021 Cannes Film Festival from award-winning writer/director Justin Chon, Blue Bayou is the moving and timely story of a uniquely American family fighting for their future. Antonio LeBlanc (Chon), a Korean adoptee raised in a small town in the Louisiana bayou, is married to the love of his life Kathy (Alicia Vikander) and step-dad to their beloved daughter Jessie. Struggling to make a better life for his family, he must confront the ghosts of his past when he discovers that he could be deported from the only country he has ever called home.”

The “Unknown” Culture Club: Korean Adoptees Then and Now

“If I could say anything to politicians, I would beg them–implore them—to please amend the Child Citizenship Act of 2000 so that those of us who were adopted as children before then but were not graned US citizenship — would finally be covered.  Please do this for my children, so they don’t have to be ostracized, and so our family can remain intact.  All I wanted was to be the best American I could be.”  Adam Crapser
