For The Life Of Me

Imagine going through your whole life without knowing who you were when you were born, without knowing what your own name had been, your own history and medical background – and you were told you had no right to know these things. For the Life of Me follows Dave, a 52 year old adoptee, as he embarks on a journey to find the woman who gave birth to him. Along with fellow middle-aged and elderly adoptees Joe, Betty, Janet, Pam, Ruth, Carolyn and Ina. Their stories shed light on the impact secrets can have over an entire lifetime.
