"Screening Humanity" is a new kind of documentary that is a continuous series of thirty-minute episodes and is different from 60-minute documentaries that end with a final conclusion. Different from the cold viewpoint of the camera that follows the serene everyday life of the main characters, the view in the camera lens is like an episode of a drama. "Screening Humanity" is the view through a microscope. The lens captures the everyday life of our surroundings and presents the people's story.

Lot of interesting episodes on this show
The most recent one I watched is about a Polish adoptee named Hanna who has been adopted into a Korean family.
She was born in Korea by Polish mother who went back to Poland after giving birth to her.
She was then adopted by a Polish family who disowned her after a short time.
Russian family adopted her afterwards, but they disowned her when she was 4 as well.
A Korean lady adopted her and brought her back to Korea where she was born, but she eventually died of cancer when Hanna was 9.
Her current family adopted her after the death of her first Korean mother and has been living with her ever since.
She says it's very stressing to meet other white people, because they start talking to her in English as they all automatically assume that she's a foreigner like them.
Hanna doesn't speak any English, however. The only language she knows is Korean and she considers herself to be Korean as well.

Old lady A : You don't look like you're from our country
Old lady B : Are your parents foreigners?
Hanna : I was adopted from Poland
Old lady A : You aren't Korean.
Old lady B : That's why we asked
Old lady A : You look American
Hanna : I am from this country. I belong in this country. I am Korean. I am definitely Korean.
