Case 84: Adopted in the U.S.A.

  • Bryant Lake Bowl 810 W Lake St Minneapolis United States (map)

My name is Edward Yoo Pokropski and I am a Korean American Adoptee. I was abandoned at a young age and the circumstances around that event have largely been a mystery. In 2015, at the age of 32, I finally went back to Seoul, Korea to try and find some answers. It's taken me 8 years to fully express how I feel about the experience. Maybe I've been afraid, or lazy, or been trying to catch up on all the shows people tell me to watch. Case 84: Adopted in the U.S.A. is a storytelling show that uses comedy to explore how the media shapes our misconceptions about adoption. Compelling visuals from pop culture and personal pictures from my trip to Korea take the audience on a journey through my childhood, all the way up to the present day.

Edward is one of the Executive Producers of Asian Comedy Fest - the longest-running all-Asian comedy fest in the country.
Edward is also an Emmy nominated Senior Writer/Producer at NBCUniversal.
