Two Korean Sisters Reunited After 50 Years: Can They Bridge The Divide?

What happens when two sisters meet for the first time after 50 years apart? In 1974, two young Korean girls were adopted overseas. One grew up in a working-class neighborhood in Malmo, Sweden, while the other was raised in Texas, USA. When a DNA test finally brought them together, their emotional reunion seemed like the beginning of a long-awaited family bond. But reconnecting after half a century proved more complicated than either expected. Their story is part of a much larger, complex history. In the six decades following the Korean War, nearly 250,000 children were sent abroad for adoption, forever changing the course of countless lives. 00:00 Introduction 01:43 250,000 children: The history of Korean adoption 03:05 Anna: Growing up different in Sweden 08:18 Catherine: Strict childhood and lost roots 10:05 The DNA test that changed everything 11:27 Reunion: Meeting after 50 years apart 12:46 Discovering a cultural divide About One ‘Orphan’ Every Hour: Correspondent Wei Du travels around the world to meet Korean adoptees and accompany a few on their journey to reclaim who they are.
