Loyal to My Image
Directed by Harriet McKern1992 21m
Loyal to My Image is a powerful documentary about adoption, mothering and personal identity. Through one woman's experience as an adopted person and also as a mother who relinquished her child in 1971, this documentary highlights the many complex issues associated with adoption. By structuring Fae's adoption experience into 7 sections: Fantasy, Loss, Virgin/Whore, Institutions, Searching, Identity and Progress, the issues examined include women as mothers, the politics of reproduction, the laws that implement family policy and the control of personal information in our society.
