After the collapse of the Communist regime in 1989, the world discovered more than 100,000 children living in Romanian orphanages. Many were not orphans, but the result of the country’s ban on abortion and contraceptives. Come Find Me tells the story of one of those children, Nori, as she travels from her adopted American home to find the family she lost almost 30 years prior.
Fresh off appearances in the Visions Du Reel festival in Switzerland and SEEFest Los Angeles, Come Find Me recently made its Romanian premiere at the Astra Film Festival in Sibiu, Romania. Astra Film Festival – the Sibiu International Festival for Documentary Film – is a major event in the European community of documentary film. The Festival is a meeting point for documentary filmmakers from all over the world.
