Paul Greengrass’ın 2020 uyarlaması News of the World
bir Amerikan kültürel motifi olan beyaz-Kızılderili evlat edinme hikayesini dev ekrana taşır. Bu evlat edinme anlatıları, evlat edinme her ne kadar evlat edinilen çocuk ve Kızılderili toplumundan çok evlat edinen ebeveynlere ve beyaz topluma yarasa da, iyileşme
vadeder. Eserler belirli bir yerli kabilenin çöküşünü bildirebildiği gibi, genellikle bireylerin ve toplumun kurulan yeni aile bağları vasıtasıyla kaybedileni hatırlayarak güçlenmesini kutlar. Bu makale yakın tarihte vizyona giren News of the World filmini, Barbara Kingsolver’ın The Bean Trees (1988) ve Pigs in Heaven (1993) ve Sherman Alexie’nin Indian Killer (1996) ve Flight (2007) romanlarına bakarak Hollywood ve edebiyat bağlamında inceleyecektir.
