Reunion

In this documentary by Reuben Evans, Oregon couple Kim and Duane recount their experience as teens, when Kim became pregnant and the pair eventually gave up their daughter for adoption by a family in Seattle. Kim and Duane would marry and have more children, raising a family of their own. Years later, that first daughter, SaraAnn, tentatively reaches out to them via the Christian agency that brokered the adoption, and in time both families build a relationship that is heartening to see. A religious documentary, Reunion reminds viewers of just how flexible and emotionally durable people can be in the midst of a crisis, while also underscoring the concept that while situations may change, real grace and love can be enduring.
