They Say His Name is Charlie

This should be on TV.

Greenlight.

Touching story. Good footage and great emotional arch to the story. Cheers for the greenlight.

Amazing story. Who knew? but of course it makes perfect sense. Greenlight.

Compelling story, visually and narratively. An important glimpse at another consequence of war and globalization...family and identity. A great lesson from our past and very timely and appropriate for our world today. Greenlight.

I spent a week in Thailand after the tsunami in Dec. actually evacuted from my bungalow during the Sumatra Quake. I've been on the same canal taxi's and as a producer.....This was shot extremely well great audio, great video, a meaningful story as well. I definetly give this a greenlight. Just watching and hearing this puts me back to the night where I thought I'd never see my family in the US again due to Tsunami scare. Great job.

I am one of the Viet Nam Veterns. This was very touching and true probably many more we will never here about.

An important story, very well told and beautiful to watch. It would be interesting indeed to re-visit the young woman after she has lived a few years in New York.

Excellent, touching,

I can't believe this Doc only have 21 post out of 153. How could anyone not be touched by this story.

WOW what an emotionally charged story!! I LOVED it!! Good visuals. Please submit more work!!!! Greenlight all the way!!

Greenlight all the way!!

Wow, very interesting topic, I love pods that have to do with things I was never even aware of. Great footage, excellent interviews, very impressive. Get this on tv!

Great Work!!! GL - This one will air!

great movie - well done - sensitive, interesting - should be on tv

cant wait to see more from this producer !!! great work

What a sensative, well made, heartfelt film.
It's easy to watch and understand,
and the excellent editing choices
make it a seamless experience.
I would love to see something so real and honest like this
on television. GREENLIGHT.

This movie gives the viewer a very in-depth look at a difficult situation. The filmmakers sensitivity, and care for this subject is unmatched in anything i have seen. This piece needs to be shown on TV, so that a larger audience can benefit from its insight.

Intriguing topic, nice storytelling, cool footage, greenlight!

I was adopted, and while I had a more positive childhood experience, I very much identify with wanting to know more about your biological father. I have met my biological mother and I can say first hand - about 50% of who you are comes from environment/nurturing and 50% comes from genetics. My wish for this woman is that her biological father would watch this pod and recognize the beautiful woman he helped create!

Definite GREENLIGHT!

Definite greenlight - you couldn't have picked a better topic. You also put the video together in a very mature fashion. Great work!

Great peice, great editing. GL.

Very interesting topic! I think the length could be shortened.

Simply wonderful

good voice over. nice voice. interesting subject. make it 2 min. shorter.

Very Good, I Think the timing is great. Needs to air!

This is a great piece...I like how the story is told and how it concludes!

This exploration of the issue of racism in Asia is laudable. I found it very interesting to hear the word "half-child" used by Thais. There is a similar word in Japanese for biracial children. I'd question how one human call another human a "half" when it is so clear that we are each part of the same whole.

Southeast Asia was, and still is a playground for GI's and working girls as they call them in that part of the world.
Much has been said about the problems of prostitution there, but Carrie covers a different and compelling side of the story, and does it well.

Sad, shocking and inspiring.
Great work.

Holy shit. Tough piece. Great work. I had no idea...the repercussions of war are mind-boggling.

You're my hero Carrie. I'll look for this on-air.

This is a great piece. So glad it's going to be on the air!

Great peice!! I'm half white half Korean myself and my parents met because my father was stationed in Korea when he was a US serviceman. We moved to America when I was 1 but things were never as hard for me as they were for her. It's sad to see that she has been so hurt by everything.

Congrats on getting this on the air!!

As someone who covered the war in Southeast Asia; as the Dean of the Graduate School of Journalism at Berkeley from which Carrie Ching graduated, and as a Board Member at Current, I want to say that this piece impresses me as something of a model of good pod-casting.

As a former correspondent who actually spent a good deal of time in North Eastern Thailand, I find this a haunting echo of that almost forgotten time.

As Dean at Carrie's School, I feel immensely proud to see a former student finding a way to do meaningful work in a TV landscape that is increasingly resistant to good international reporting.

As a Board Member of Current, it's gratifying to see the concept of this inter-active/citizen journalism enterprise so beautifully incarnated in a single, elegant, heartfelt piece of work.

Watching pieces like this is what makes me so proud to work for Current. Well done Carrie! You've not only captured an incredible story, but your ability to open your subjects up it what makes this a dynomite piece . I hope we get more from you!

Hey carrieaching


I submited a new Yaris VCAM, you know still shooting for the $1000 so I can better my equipment. I wondered if I can bug you to check it out. It's titled Yaris Reinvent, so tell me what you think and how I can fix it, or leave Greenlight if you think its already good. thanks for your time.

congrats on getting aired, great pod...!

Great work and great piece Carrie!

This video is so heartbreaking, inspiring and sadly very famular. I am Vietnamese/Black born in Vietnam during the war. Carrie, you did a very good job, on so many levels, you did a good job.
