海角直播

Free homecoming screening of award-winning documentary

海角直播 is hosting a special screening of an acclaimed feature-length documentary directed by social work lecturer Dr Rachel Taparjan.

Something Familiar follows Dr Taparjan, who was adopted from Romania as a baby, as she embarks on an international search for her birth family alongside a fellow adoptee. Their journey uncovers long buried truths and explores adoption, identity, trauma and resilience.

The documentary won the Chicken & Egg Vision Award at Cannes Docs 2025 and is currently touring the international festival circuit.

It is returning to 海角直播 for this special screening followed by an intimate Q&A session with director Dr Rachel Taparjan and trauma specialist Dr Lisa Cherry.

Dr Taparjan said: 鈥淏ringing this film back to 海角直播 feels incredibly meaningful; so much of my journey, both personal and professional, has been shaped here.

鈥�Something Familiar began as a search for answers, but it became a story about connection and courage.

鈥淚 hope audiences leave feeling seen, moved and reminded that our histories don鈥檛 have to define our futures.鈥�

The Something Familiar screening takes place on Saturday 23 May, 4.00pm 鈥� 7.00pm, in 海角直播鈥檚 state-of-the-art Digital Life building.
