The art star and the Sudanese twins
"Controversial conceptual artist Vanessa Beecroft, known for staging striking tableaux of nude female models, is smitten with a pair of Sudanese twins during an African photo shoot. Determined to adopt them whether her husband, the local orphanage, or the government of Sudan likes it or not, she returns to this captivating environment. Cameras rolling, award-winning documentarian Piettra Brettkelly follows Beecroft over a difficult 16-month fight to become the first foreigner in history to legally take children out of this impoverished and beleaguered country. The candid moments that arise reveal a talented artist at her best and worst, and shed light on the inflammatory subject of international adoption"--Container.

- "Documentaire. Vanessa Beecroft est une artiste contemporaine connue par son travail souvent controversé. Au cours des dernières annnées, elle s'est intéressée à l'Afrique. C'est lors d'une session de photos au Soudan qu'elle s'attache à des jumeaux orphelins. Pendant le processus d'adoption, elle s'est photographiée allaitant les jumeaux et l'a intégré à son travail d'artiste. Ce documentaire explore l'aspiration et l'espoir d'une femme dans sa tentative d'adopter des enfants dans un pays en voie de développement, et l'impact de cette longue démarche sur sa carrière et sa vie personnelle."
