About this Short Film
Mahurangi College’s A Story for all (New Zealand, 2020) is part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. The film explores themes such as achievement, autism, bullying, cognitive processing disability, prejudice, stereotypes and stigma, with a clear connection to school life, teenagers and writing. It does not rely on spectacle; instead it offers a quiet space to reflect on how abilities are seen and understood in educational settings. Suitable for audiences interested in authentic voices and everyday challenges, the film complements our programme by highlighting the experiences and achievements of people with disability and inviting respectful conversation about inclusion.
