In this documentary by Reuben Evans, Oregon couple Kim and Duane recount their experience as teens, when Kim became pregnant and the pair eventually gave up their daughter for adoption by a family in Seattle. Kim and Duane would marry and have more children, raising a family of their own. Years later, that first daughter, SaraAnn, tentatively reaches out to them via the Christian agency that brokered the adoption, and in time both families build a relationship that is heartening to see. A religious documentary, Reunion reminds viewers of just how flexible and emotionally durable people can be in the midst of a crisis, while also underscoring the concept that while situations may change, real grace and love can be enduring. Recommended.
