White Mama

The documentary delves into Alina Makarova's life as a mother of six biological children and one adopted child. With her ex-husband from Ethiopia, all her biological children are mixed race, while her adopted son is white and faces significant health and psychological challenges.

As the narrative unfolds, Alina's older children voice their concerns about the potential complications of adoption. They worry about whether there will be sufficient room, time, and love to accommodate everyone in the family. Alina's conviction that adoption is the right choice serves as a central theme, prompting reflection on the nature of familial bonds and acceptance.
