Lost Sparrow

I am an adoptive mother and memoirist, and just this week had the great opportunity to watch Chris Billing's remarkable film, Lost Sparrow. I cried for the lost innocence, the wasted lives, and the healings that took place as a result of the filmmaker's courage. Having set out to discover one truth, and uncovering another, Mr. Billing found the strength of spirit, and compassion in his artistry to tell the story he had to tell. Cheers to Chris Billing. I am grateful to him for shedding light, in such a sensitive and detailed manner, on the suffering that often takes place in families, foster adopted or not. You are a hero, Chris Billing. I recommend this film not only to those who are touched by adoption, but to all who are passionate about healing from past wounds. There is hope that truth and forgiveness can free us. And it is through films such as Lost Sparrow that we, as a culture, can move closer to full realization as human beings.
