Something Familiar (2026)
While helping another woman search for her birth mother, a filmmaker reopens her own family story. In searching for her missing sisters, she unearths a legacy of abuse and exploitation, and begins to ask: can the creative power of self-authorship help her rewrite the scripts she has inherited?
