- APL Films is launching sales in Cannes for the three‑part docuseries "Hola Mamá".
- Adrian Reamey follows her own search for her birth mother, uncovering a decades‑long illegal adoption network tied to Pinochet’s dictatorship.
- The investigation reveals U.S. involvement in a network that separated children from poor mothers and placed them with wealthier families abroad.
- The series includes interviews with experts and U.S. Congressman Jamie Raskin.
- Jonathan T. Baker will attend Cannes with the filmmakers to negotiate distribution deals.
Why it matters: Victims of the Chilean adoption scheme gain a platform for truth, while the U.S. faces renewed scrutiny over its involvement; the series could spur legal reforms and drive streaming demand for socially‑focused content.
