Rainbow World

Honor Your Roots!

For its inaugural film release, Rainbow World acquired the North American distribution rights to "Approved for Adoption" (original title, Couleur de peau: miel), an animated autobiographical documentary based upon film director Jung Henin's personal story of his adoption from South Korea to French-speaking Belgium. The film is an adaptation of an original graphic novel series authored by Jung Henin.

Rainbow World hopes to raise $10,500 to support the creation of educational materials and community based educational initiatives associated with the film. These efforts will serve to both educate and bring attention to the voices, stories and valuable life experiences from the international/transracial adoption community.

In addition, Rainbow World hopes to secure $25,000 in funds to help with efforts to publish a limited film edition of Book #1 in the 3-book graphic novel series that the film is based upon.
