Millennials may be skeptical on the genuineness of what social media can offer (me included), so I started blogging where I feel more at ease
in expressing myself. But in this film, there is a vindication to these widely
popular social media services such as Facebook and Youtube. I believe that it
has brought out one of the very essences of technology which is to bring people
closer together, regardless of where you are at the moment.
The documentary follows the journey of Samantha Futerman and Anais
Bordier in their search for biological roots in Busan, South Korea. It has begun when
Anais contacted Samantha thru Facebook on February, 2013 to give her a tap on their
resemblance and their undeniable similarities such as their birth date and the
place where they were born. From here, they started communicating via skype and
recording every detail that has covered their plight. Though miles apart from each other, Samantha who was adopted by American
couple and was based in LA while Anais who was adapted by French couple and was based in London to study; they managed to have their first trip to South Korea
together and met people who may be the key to unveiling to what has went through.
