About this Short Film
We are pleased to present Achieving Together by Riverton Primary Campus (Australia, 2020). This short film sits comfortably within the Focus on Ability programme, offering a thoughtful look at inclusion, friendship and teamwork in a school setting. Rather than offering a single viewpoint, it invites audiences to consider different perceptions of ability, and the role of peers and teachers in supporting one another. Themes include cognitive, intellectual and physical disability, companionship and collective effort. Warm and sincere in tone, the film celebrates small achievements and the everyday ways communities work together to include young people with disability. Ideal for audiences seeking hopeful, relatable stories.
