One of Ours (2021)
A thoughtful insight to the complexities of Adoption and Identity
7 November 2023
One of Ours, paints the complex reality of adopting transracially, alongside the realities of expressing indigenous identities. The story is put together in raw, intimate way. Getting to know this family, and their many nations was a privilege watching this film. You will learn much about forgiveness, betrayal, and the hardships of family, kinship, and blood.
The film leaves you longing for a feeling of belonging. You should watch this film if you are curious about personal perspectives of transracial adoption. This film also has some VERY poignant points about indigenous identity, who and what decides who you are?
Is it a drop of blood or is it a life of knowledge and participation in a people and nationhood.
