A film festival program spotlighting immigrant storytellers is bringing a personal, awards-buzzed adoption drama to local audiences.

• The Vilcek Foundation has partnered with the Hawaii International Film Festival since 2007 to showcase immigrant filmmakers, bringing in dozens of directors from around the world over nearly two decades.
• This year's lineup includes "Take Me Home," a film by a filmmaker whose own sister plays a lead role loosely based on her real life.
• The story centers on a family dealing with disability and a role reversal in caregiving, a situation tens of millions of caregivers across the country also face.
• The film already won recognition at Sundance before its local premiere this week.

Outlook: The film and other festival selections continue screening locally, with tickets and program details available through the festival's and foundation's websites.
