Update #10: A New Way to Fight Kidnapping in China
Hi all,
Thought I'd drop everyone a quick line to let you know about what's been going on in China the past few weeks, where the topic of our film has suddenly become a very hot topic thanks to a brand new way to rescue kids and fight kidnappers! I've written a post on ChinaGeeks about it, which you can read here at your convenience if you're interested:

I'm an independent documentary filmmaker, as well as a professional writer and translator. I was born and educated in the US, but am now living in China. The rest of our team is a diverse mix of folks, but we all speak Chinese, and we all know China.
How's the "Finding Home" project coming along?
