Closure is a documentary about a transracial adoptee who finds her birth mother and meets the rest of a family who did not know she existed, including her birth father. This is a story about identity, the complexities of trans-racial adoption, and most importantly, closure.
This event is free and open to all. Our program begins at 5:00 pm and there will be full dinner service throughout the screening. Copies of Angela Tucker’s book YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL will be available for purchase before and after the event. Please note that this event is in person and will not be livestreamed.
