Around 2011, a few of the Hong Kong adoptees toyed with the idea of finding somebody interested in making a documentary about us. I approached both the BBC and Channel 4 with fellow Fanling-er Lucy. No joy. In the end we decided to make our own. I withdrew due to other professional commitments but Lucy ploughed on, expanding the vision to include British Born Chinese interviewees that had very similar experiences to us of being in a “cultural No Man’s Land”. It’s now doing the rounds of the film festivals but there’s a rare chance to see a screening at the School of Oriental & African Studies (SOAS) in London.
