Ibby's Story

About this Short Film

Ibby's Story (Why Documentaries & ECCNSW, Australia, 2022) is a short film that explores themes of inclusion, achievement and attitude. Through intimate moments it examines what university life, work opportunities and social interactions can mean for a young adult living with a congenital neuromuscular condition and using a wheelchair. The film touches on the realities of bullying alongside personal strengths and ambitions, without turning the subject into a single, neat narrative. Presented in the Focus on Ability festival, Ibby's Story highlights the abilities and everyday experiences of people with disability and asks audiences to consider how communities can better welcome and support everyone.

Ibby I am very proud of your achievement. Able bodied people I know have done very little with their life. Those who bully you are the pits of society. You show them Ibby.
