Living on the Fault Line

Independent filmmaker Jeff Farber is releasing a new documentary next week titled "Living on the Fault Line". The film documents the trans-racial adoptions of several Vermont families, and follows them through their days - both the good and the bad.
"Parents are forthcoming in the film about their children's awareness of race - noticing at a young age that they look different from other family members. They also talk about comments related to race which cross the line of reasonable matters. One mother chokes up talking about woman she didn't even know inquiring about whether she would get her Chinese daughter's eyes 'fixed'."
The families share more than just their struggles. Precious, memorable moments are caught on film as well. Family dinners, trips to local fairs and festivals, and nights out at the Vermont Symphony Orchestra capture the joy and closeness of the film's subjects. Read more at TimesArgus.com.

Like children of trans-racial adoption, teens with Asperger's Syndrome often face problems such as social isolation, inability to be a teen, sexual issues, criminal activity, school failures, depression, and acting out. Learn more at YourLittleProfessors.com.
