November 7, 2022 "INTERSECTIONS" Selected to be in the 2022 CANNES World Film Festival We are honored to announce that "INTERSECTIONS" has been selected to be a part of the Cannes World Film Festival! The Cannes Film Festival judging team is currently reviewing all selected films. The Semi-Finalists, Finalists, Nominees and ultimately the Winners will be announced shortly. In Season 1 of INTERSECTIONS, we meet Canh, Rachel, Dan and Kirk; 4 Vietnam War era adoptees that resided in the Sacred Heart Orphanage in Da Nang, Vietnam during the tail end of the war. They were adopted separately into families in the United States, lived very separate lives, yet miraculously their journeys intersected after nearly 50 years and they are finding purpose, passion, and connections that have changed the trajectory of each of their lives. INTERSECTIONS is a multi-season docuseries that explores the lives of the "Children of the Dust"; a derogatory Vietnamese term to refer to the mixed-race children (known as Amerasians) born in Vietnam during the war. In many cases, they were orphaned and adopted into families around the world and now their journeys are intersecting with the unexpected gift of touching lives across multiple generations as a they turn the tide on the stigmas attached to the Vietnam War. The series also shares the stories of the men, women, and military service members that helped shape their lives. These are their stories... in their own words. ​INTERSECTIONS is currently produced in house as a part of the Multimedia Influence and Education Program of SEA2C. This program is is operated by a volunteer force of multiple award winning film makers, photojournalist, and multimedia professionals with storied backgrounds in cinematography and journalism. The series is Directed by Vietnam War Amerasian adoptee, Kirk Kellerhals, and is hosted and narrated by Vietnam War Amerasian adoptee, Canh Oxelson. #CannesWorldFilmFestival #SEA2C #Intersections ​ ​

“I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship." -Brené Brown One of the many missions of SEA2C is to share stories and CONNECTIONS through our Multimedia Influence and Education Program. We share these stories to inspire, to give hope, to learn, and to remind everyone that they are never alone in their journey. One of the many messages of the stories shared through this series is the importance of connections and to never take for granted, those connections that make each of us a better person.

“Anything you can’t control is teaching you how to let go.” -Jackson Kiddard An important, but forgotten part of the history of the Vietnam War resides in the "Children of the Dust". The orphans from that war. Issues dealing with "attachments" is a tough subject to talk about, but healing can be found when these issues are brought to light and shared with others. This issue among others are a part of the "Intersections" journey that we explore and serves as a stark reminder of just how challenging and lonely this journey can be at times. But it also serves as a reminder that we are never alone and that looking for the light while in the dark can make all the difference in the world.

"People need to know that they are not alone, that they have not been abandoned; but that there is one who loves them for what they are, who cares about them." – Dada Vaswani An important, but forgotten part of the history of the Vietnam War resides in the "Children of the Dust". The orphans from that war. All too often, the common thread that runs through the Vietnam War adoptee community is that of abandonment. This issue among others are a part of the "Intersections" journey that we explore and serves as a stark reminder of just how challenging and lonely this journey can be at times. But it also serves as a reminder that we are never alone and that looking for the light while in the dark can make all the difference in the world.

"In order to complete our amazing life journey successfully, it is vital that we turn each and every dark tear into a pearl of wisdom, and find the blessing in every curse." – Anthon St. Maarten One of the many missions of SEA2C is to share stories and connections through our Multimedia Influence and Education Program. We share these stories to inspire, to give hope, to learn, and to remind everyone that they are never alone in their journey. The most challenging part of this this mission is the learning that comes along when things go awry or in this case, when the genesis of these stories are rooted in war. The hard lessons learned often come with a high cost that is paid with pain, loneliness, anger, misperceptions, and damaged relationships. One of the many messages of the stories shared through this series is to never let the past define who we are and who we become. Thank you for joining us on this journey.

One of the biggest challenges of growing up as an adopted mix race child from the Vietnam war is finding your identity. The Vietnamese term "bụi đời" translates to"life of dust", or "dusty life".... Thousands of children of mixed race were born and orphaned in Vietnam during the war, and were in most cases, fathered by military service members serving there. They were referred to by the derogatory term, "Children of the Dust"....The lowest of life. Many of these children were a mix of two nations, but wanted by neither. "Intersections" explores these challenges, among many others, that still haunts many of these "Children of the Dust" nearly 5 decades later.

"Great things are done by a series of small things brought together" -Vincent van Gogh The unique, diverse, and ever evolving nature of all these stories coming together to paint the complete picture makes this production very fluid and ever changing. We have all known from the very beginning that each story individually is inspirational and represents various, yet different stages in our journeys but more importantly, that there is a much more powerful story to be told collectively to share the messages of hope, healing, and connections. As these story lines have continued to develop, and layers are added, the messaging in this project are growing exponentially and as such, the decision has been made to premier "Intersections" through a variety of film festivals rather than an online Thanksgiving Day debut. As a result, the premier for season 1 of "Intersections" is projected to be sometime in Spring of 2022. We will make the announcement, once an official venue and date are confirmed. We believe that this will allow the project to touch many more lives and have a positive impact on those that need it most. Part of the mission of the #SEA2C Foundation is to share inspirational stories through its' in house multimedia production team to help inspire, educate, and implement positive change one life at a time.
