Be Yourself

About this Short Film

Be Yourself, by Kangaroo Island Community Education (Australia, 2019), is a short film that explores themes of learning, school life and group belonging for young people with cognitive processing and intellectual disabilities. Rather than prescribing a single storyline, it presents moments that reflect day-to-day experiences of children and teenagers in educational settings. The film highlights the skills, humour and resilience that emerge when young people learn together, and invites audiences to notice the small achievements that matter. Presented as part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, Be Yourself contributes to a broader conversation about inclusion and the diverse ways young people with disability participate in school life.
