New People: Take Me Home

This screening will take place at NEW PEOPLE CINEMA, located at 1746 Post Street in Japantown. Director Liz Sargent in person for a post-screening Q&A Anna cares for her aging parents in a fragile balance of meeting one another’s needs. When a Florida heat wave shatters their family and Anna’s routine, her future is uncertain until she creates a world where she can thrive. Expanded from Liz Sargent’s acclaimed short (2023 Sundance Film Festival), Take Me Home exposes the indignities of the American health care system and the structural challenges faced by disabled people. The film also gently and imaginatively traces a path for Anna’s independence and connection to a community of chosen family. By turns quietly devastating and bracingly optimistic, Take Me Home confronts us with an impossible situation, while holding out hope for Anna’s future. 2026 Sundance Film Festival – World Premiere : U.S. Dramatic Competition 76th Berlin International Film Festival – International Premiere: Perspectives Program 2026 Tribeca Festival – New York Premiere: Spotlight Narrative Note films start right at the listed showtime.
