The film explores the ups and downs of mobile upbringing for children whose parents have had to leave 'home' for parts foreign and unknown. Their search for belonging, and their unique perspective of the world.

@siofanson314

I encourage you to make your own TCK film. There is something about the process of film-making that is healing and transforming. At least for me it is. The planned date for the release of the film is May 2011. I will let you know once is out! Stay in touch. aga

This seems to be more a bit more on the dark side of TCK. I was born in Canada and from three months on went to Brazil, Venezuela, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, Mexico, Argentina, then Spain. For those who may say it is different because they are all Spanish speaking countries. Then you are not a TCK.

@quilmes99

You are a TCK if you spent your adolescence years in a different culture than your parents. You are a Third Cuture Kid even if you grew up in only Spanish Speaking countries. Where are you now?

You guys made me cry, especially when I saw the book in your hands. Discovering this changed my life... I finally could start to understand who I was. And it did the same for my sister! Thank you so much Brice for raising the awareness on the subject!

@pointge I am moved by your comment and I am glad the TCK stories resonated with you.

I would love to hear how finding about tcks changed your life.

While you're waiting for the film to come out, here's another clip of a TCK story... "Finding Center" in the anthology The Chalk Circle: Intercultural Prizewinning Essays" (available in print and Kindle, Spring 2012) Thank you for creating this film!!!

there's a vashti bunyan song that goes "suddenly now, i know where i belong- it's many hundred miles and it won't be long." if your interpretation of this line invigorates your wanderlust, u'r a fucking tourist, if it makes you cry, you're a tck. bv there's always some naive hope that home is just a plane ride away, but in fact -no matter what- youre *always* at least a couple hundred miles from where you wish you were, at any give time.

@globalsoultv Hello! I was wondering if there was any place where I could get the film to watch? Im hoping its out now :) I have been wondering about it and am very excited to see it!! Thank you again so much for making this

being a tck means being part of global mobile capitalist elite. our advantage over the sheep is our ability to escape socio-political problems and to hide our assets from taxes where ever we go. let's not kid ourselves. our host countries never welcomed us at the least, despised us at its worst, try your best never to be pressured into helping anybody because of a yearning to gain acceptance, instead, make as much fucking money as you can and enjoy your privilege

my wife just started a vlog about her tck experiences

I'm writing my thesis on TCK's (and am one myself), I encourage all who are interested to participate in my surveys to help me with my research. Help me graduate! Visit my facebook event page (Expat Brats/Third Culture Kids/Missionary Kids needed!) for more information and a link to the surveys.

This is great. This immediately made the obvious obvious. Always so hard to relate with people and always feeling like an outsider trying to assimilate into someone else's cuture and way of life. I was born in PR, lived in 7 U.S. states, Costa Rica, Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay. I'm glad to know there are so many others like me in a world where it seems like we're the only ones.
