Nicholas Leffel is a filmmaker from Madison, Wisconsin. He was adopted from a Russian orphanage as toddler by a couple from Washington DC area.
As an adoptee, he shared how he struggled with identity issues growing up and often felt like an outsider. However, he used videomaking as a way to express himself and communicate his experiences. He also talked about how taking a DNA test gave him a more direct sense of identity, but at the same time, still feels survivor's guilt, and how the ongoing war in Ukraine is affecting him personally. As a filmmaker, he discussed the advantages and challenges of having limited resources, and his hopes to have Central Asian representation in mainstream media through his work.
