With its steady gaze, A Place Called Home invites us into the day-to-day lives of China's most innocent, most helpless, and most forgotten individuals: children who have been abandoned by their birth parents and now reside in the Zhang Jiakou Child Welfare Center. It is an unflinching look into an institutional world where heartbreak and tragedy, though routine, co-exist with the simplest, smallest, and most unexpected everyday triumphs.
On January 23, 2016 in Los Angeles, California, St. John's Presbyterian Church held a screening of this short documentary. Afterwards, financial donations were accepted to benefit and support the Zhangjiakou Welfare Center in China.
