Summary
Larry Tung's documentary 'Coming Full Circle' questions what it feels like to go back to a country you never knew. Pauline Park was born into a poor family in post-war Korea, and adopted by white American parents as a 7-month-old baby boy, she left Korea and grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 54 years later, she embarked on a journey of discovering and connecting to her past, where her birth name literally means 'the second son'. Park, a transgender rights activist in New York City, also took the opportunity to share her decades of experience in activism with local LGBT communities, first by giving the keynote speech in the Seoul pride festival and then meeting with various local LGBT groups.
